| Description: |
Lava Field and Waterfall CruisesYour adventures starts on the way to the boat ramp, where you'll find yourself winding down the highway through giant Albeezia & Mango trees that create a canopy over the highway past Lava Tree State Park before arriving at the boat ramp.As we pull out of the boat ramp we'll pass surfers, surfing the famous waves here at Po'hoiki Bay. Our first stop along the way is MacKensie State Park a popular local hangout and fishing area best noted for its giant fish. Along the coast there are numerous black sand beaches.
During most of the trip you can look up the mountain where the volcano continues to puff out volcanic Vog. Just outside Kalapana is the Cave of Refuge. As the tropical vegetation turns to frozen flows we enter the freshly lava covered coastline of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This area shows the remains from the various flows that touched the sea. Regular bench break offs, which once triggered, avalanche into the depths below leaving amazing cross sections of cooling lava and lava tubes scattered along the cliffs left behind. Drips and lava sculptures blanket the coastline. This is a once in a lifetime journey to the center of life. When the Lava' s RED HOT-There is no better way to see lava hands down. We observe Pele's magnificent Rivers of Fire cascading into the Pacific Ocean. The sizzling sounds and heat off the lava will impress even the most seasoned travelers. This special occurrence happens periodically and can be here today gone tomorrow, so when its hot don't wait.
*No Guarantees on seeing the Hot Lava pouring into the Sea, as Mother Nature chooses when and where, and is a constantly moving force. Hot Lava or not, this is a one of a kind Cultural Sunrise or Sunset Cruise you will not want to miss!
