A: Rivers of lava freeze into solid rock - on the surface. Beneath the surface, lava continues to flow, forming a lava tube.
Q: So the lava goes underground?
A: Yes, until the tube comes to an end - at the sea cliff. Then it pours out into the ocean.
Q: Why are you taking a BOAT
to see molten lava? Is it shooting up out of the ocean?A: Not right now. It is flowing down the mountain
into the ocean. The sea cliff blocks your view from land. That's why we
go by boat - full frontal view.
Q: Why go at sunset?
A: Molten lava radiates light, spectacular
in the evening. Also the
ocean is calmer.
Q: What about sunrise?A: Also spectacular, calm. But, you have to
show up in the middle of the night. We can do this if you are up for it.
Q: This sounds incredibly dangerous. A: It is - if you are in the wrong hands. But I promise to keep you a safe distance from the molten lava.
Q: How long is the boat ride?
A: The boat ride is 14 miles each way, on a coastline exposed to the open ocean.
Q: So there are big waves?
A: Waves are typically 4 to 6 feet.
Q: This sounds like a rough trip!
A: It can be rough. You should not do it, if you have a bad back, are pregnant, or had a recent injury or surgery.
Q: Is there an age limit?
A: Children under 6 years old are probably not ready for this
experience.
Q: I gotta do it! Sign
me up!
A: OK. Be ready for a
powerful physical and mental journey.
Q: What's your
phone number?
A: (808)883-1122
