Thanks, Hawaii Vacation Gifts, for so kindly looking into my question and for the wonderful post you did! It is well worth reading!

Luckily I’ve seen Puu Oo before by helicopter. I’ve also hiked many miles around Volcanoes National Park and it is amazing! On this trip, I was hoping to see the new Poupou entry point that started a month ago, but sadly, I’m not going to get to make it out to the Big Island this time.
