Within the past 15 years or so the only place on the planet that you
could consistently see an active volcano has been on the Big Island of
Hawaii. |

For years the
magma under Kilauea has been pushing to the earths surface through "puu"
or vents and has been making its way through a series of lava tubes to
the seacoast. Here the hot lava pours into the sea at such enormous
temperatures that vast plumes of steam and mist are formed and often
ascend hundreds of feet into the air. Vast areas of the Big Island have
been burned and paved over as a result, and the destruction and raw
power of the earths creative force is one of the most spectacular sites
to ever be seen. This spectacle of nature is often much too dangerous to
be viewed up close and visitors are prohibited to go close to the most
spectacular fiery displays and hence the only way to realistically see
the active volcano is by helicopter or small aircraft.
Helicopter trips in Hawaii and particularly the Helicopter trips of the
Big Island which fly over the volcanoes of Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea
and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park are considered by many to be the
single most spectacular helicopter trip available in all of Hawaii and should not
be missed if at all possible.
Helicopter tours in Hawaii to see mount Kilauea and the active volcanoes
of Hawaii Volcano National Park depart from both Hilo and Waikoloa on
the Big Island. Most
visitors visiting the Big Island will stay on the Kona or Waikoloa coast
and since there are tours leaving from there this is often they're first
choice of departure points. It should be remembered however that the
reason the Big Island is called the "Big Island" is that it is very,
very big (it is a fact that the total land area of all the other islands
combined would fit within the confines of the island of Hawaii) and as a
result the Big Island Helicopter tours that leave from Kona to view the volcano are generally
over two hours in length and are respectively fairly expensive. Many
people as a result choose to drive the 2 or 3 hours or so from Kona to
Hilo and depart from there as the flight to see Kilauea is only 45 or 50
minutes in length and considerably less expensive. The longer helicopter tours do
have their merit however as they visit the slopes of both Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa as well as the spectacular Kohala Coastline so if money is not
an object please enjoy the longer helicopter flights. |
