Formations of Pele (45 minutes)
View a myriad of waterfalls and peer into Pu'u O'o vent (weather permitting). The ever-changing colors and landscape of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park unfolds as rainforest gives way to barren lava fields. Look for active lava flows and experience the "newest place" on earth. "Pele's Fountain" is where molten lava erupts into the Pacific as waves crash ashore. This flight is a once in a life time experience!
Flight Includes: Ground briefing, complimentary coffee, personally narrated tour, air-conditioning, choreographed CD music through rich stereophonic headsets with volume control. You may purchase the pilot-narrated video of your actual flight on DVD.
