To view the lava flow, or sink lava, you must park and walk the marked trail on foot. We walk on a stretch of hardening lava, quite impressive. At the end, on the right, there is a huge cloud of smoke caused by the flow of lava from puuoo into the ocean. Most of the time you can see only the cloud and no lava. You must come before sunrise or at night to distinguish color from lava. In any case, and even if it's very tempting, you should never walk away from marked trails! The soil is unstable and boiling: it was fatal to many curious imprudent. Finally, before leaving, it is recommended to call the park standard to know exactly where the lava sink is: volcano is active and changes in trajectory occur daily. It's a question of luck, actually… if ever, when you stay on Big Island, you hear that the casting is particularly easy to observe, because we know that generally enough, you have to go to the park soon because it may not last.

The best way to see the slides is by helicopter if we can. An unavoidable one is to reserve a small one-hour excursion to see the lava flows falling into the ocean and it's unique in the world. The better is to do it in the morning so that you can see the red of the lanterns because there is no excursion at night. When you get closer you can even hear the explosions that the lava comes into contact with the water. It's a must.
