Kalapanalavaboat.com is running out of Hilo.

So is oceanlava.com. Long ride from Hilo...

Took the 4AM Kalapana lava boat tour Thursday morning. When we got there we saw a 30 foot wide river of lava entering the ocean. Crew said it was the first time they had seen something that big.
Very rough ride to and from. Barf factor extremely high, especially when at flow since you are sitting on a pitching ocean.
Sit on the right side of the boat if you go. Best views of the fountaining fissures on the way out and at the flow.

Thanks Chas. Was that from Hilo? How long did it take to get there?
RE: Lavaboat tours - PaulW - 05-25-2018
Okay, I see that Kalapanalavaboat.com is from Hilo, near Suisan.

A little over an hour to get there.
I didn’t barf but many did. Including one of the crew!!!

Did you take pictures? Can you share, via a photo sharing site? Would love to see them.
RE: Lavaboat tours - Chas - 05-25-2018
Sorry, I’m not on any photo sharing sites. Only took a few pictures that didn’t turn out that great. Boat heaving too roughly to get a good shot. Just decided to enjoy the moment instead.
