A modern, unparalleled experience is to be flown above the island in a helicopter. Floating like angels above the land, tourists and Eden-seekers can traverse the rugged lowland rainforest and steep waterfalls of the Hamakua Coast, trace the contours of cowboy country and Pu’u Wa’a Wa’a Ranch, grace the sterling, deep blue pools and coral reefs of every hue along the leeward coast, witness the expansion of land as lava tumbles and flows in Ka’u, then ascend past the towns of Mountain View and Kea’au to Volcano Village and the mists of
Volcanoes National Park. The entire island can be witnessed in a few hours. (Has paradise ever felt so small?) During the course of one flight the land will grade from literally seconds old to more than 4.5 million years. The constancy of creation is an improtant factor in assuring Hawaii’s uniqueness as a living laboratory for scientific study. The helicopter, circling round the ocean entry point at Laukapu, is witness to the same processes and conditions that created the land 150 miles and 4 millions years to the North. In this place history and future come together where the earth melts into a boiling sea.
