"Two mighty agencies in collision. Two antagonist and gigantic forces in contact, and producing effects on a scale inconceivably grand!"

"The atmosphere in all directions was filled with ashes, spray, gases... while the burning lava, as it fell into the water, was shivered into millions of minute particles, and, being thrown back into the air, fell in showers of sand on all the surrounding country. The coast was extended into the sea... and a pretty sand-beach and a new cape was formed."

T. Coan, Minister in Hawai`i, 1841  (USGS excerpt; "Where Lava Meets The Sea")

NOTICE:  As is with any of our Lava Boat Tours, our Whales and Waterfalls adventure is not a tour for everyone.  We navigate over chop, swell and surf, making this trip a rough open ocean tour.  Each passenger MUST be strong and agile enough to assist his/herself with accessory muscles that will support you and "fade" the rough vessel surges of energy on impact while in transport.  All guests must be in good health with no back or hip injuries of any kind, pregnancy and have enough of the muscle tone and strength mentioned above.  Our US Coast Guard rated 49 passenger catamarans the "LAVA ONE" & "HOTSPOT"...which offer an easy same-level dock boarding process are located Hilo's Suisan Fish Market directly to the left of the market hoist.
