By boat and helicopter and viewing areas a truly amazing this to watch as it hits the ocean. Make sure to check your shoes and not bring back any lava or the Godess Palai may give you miss fortune. You'll see when you get there what I am talking about. Vacation rentals can be a great way to experience Hawaii as the locals do. Definately consider this as an options. Prices are good and room to stretch out. Looks like many locals and tourist will have a show. By boat and helicopter and viewing areas a truly amazing this to watch as it hits the ocean.

I think I might try to see it from a bit more of a distance. :-) I'll make sure to pack my binoculars. I was joking with my husband earlier today that Pele must read this blog because just last week I posted about how lava's not flowing to (unrestricted) viewing area or to the ocean. At that time lava was moving fairly slowly and pooling up in the flats. Well, lo and behold, Pele put a change to that and in a hurry! I think it's so exciting!

We've posed next to it while feeling our arm hairs singe. LOL It is IMPERATIVE you learn as much as possible about the sights, sounds and smells too. This was invaluable to us: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2000/fs152-00/ When we were there with our friend, we had gas masks with us and while people were choking on the sulfuric acid in the air, we were fine. We might've looked dorky but we didn't care. We had about 2 hours on that trip but we could hear methane explosions in the distance and lava swishing under us in a nearby tube. With the dawn's morning light, the "show" was going to fade so we went ahead and left when visitors arrived. I know it sounds crazy but definitely bring an offering for Pele. Both times right after we offered leis and gin, the lava brokeout into an amazing show! Sooo cool! :-) Both times we were able to poke the lava with our walking sticks.

We've been lucky enough to see it twice, once in the park at 4am with our friend and once close to where its flowing now for 3 hours by ourselves. It is something that is so amazing you can barely find words to describe it. Take in the smell, the little lava chips popping off the top as it slightly hardens and even the heat as one wind shift can give you a blast furnace effect. Have a great time! I hope you do!
