Lava Tour
Hawaii is home to a number of active volcanoes. You can receive a guided tour around the volcanoes during the early hours of the morning. Along the tour, you could get the chance to see a lava flow down the mountainside. Some tours are either delayed or not canceled because of the varying lava flows each day.
