Start your day in Hilo with a 50 minute “Formations of Pele” helicopter ride with Sunshine Helicopters. The ever-changing colors and landscape of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park unfolds as rainforest gives way to barren lava fields. Witness a myriad of waterfalls and peer into Pu'u O'o vent (weather permitting). Search for active lava flows and experience the "newest place" on earth. "Pele's Fountain" where molten lava erupts into the Pacific Ocean as waves crash ashore. A once in a life time experience! After your helicopter flight, spend the day exploring Hilo and the Volcano National park on your own. 45 minutes away from the Volcano National Park and nestled beneath the slopes of magnificent Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, Hilo on the Big Island of Hawai, holds the quite fascination of a small town with a few “Big City” surprises. Survey its unique blend of architecture, with an aura reminiscent of Pacific 1920-1940 trading ports, or stop by Lyman Museum and Mission House to learn of Hawaii’s early New England missionary influences. A visit to Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Visitor Center will reveal how Hawaiia’s favorite nut is harvested and prepared into delicious treats. You’ll be immersed in a rainbow of rare and exotic fresh tropical blossoms, including fragrant orchids and radiant anthuriums, at the spectacular Nani Maui Gardens. Enjoy an incredible day of island exploration filled with natural beauty and pure Hawaiian charm.
