The Big Island of Hawaii – Where the Earth is Alive
The Big Island is exactly that, BIG. This is a place that is alive, raw and amazingly diverse. Safari flights take you to Volcanoes National Park to see the Puu’O'O Vent where the current volcanic activity is taking place, and lava flowing to the sea.
- 8 reviews of Safari Helicopter Tours in Hilo
Soaring over the active volcanic vent called Pu‘u O‘o, you may glimpse the pool of lava at its center. Nearby is the prehistoric spatter cone called Pu‘u Huluhulu.
The lava flowing from Kilauea eventually reaches the ocean, constantly building new land. From a helicopter you’ll see glowing lava as it enters the sea, sending up plumes of volcanic gas and smoke.
The Coastal Zone is sparse with vegetation because it receives very little rainfall and has seen many recent lava flows. Up from the coast is the Hilina Pali zone which is also sparsely vegetated with many steep cliffs caused by huge landslides.
As you soar over these interesting land formations the visible volcano history displays itself before your eyes. It’s a truly unforgettable experience.
