Visitors and residents of the Big Island of Hawaii were treated to a natural spectacle as lava from one of Kilauea Volcano’s vents spilled into the ocean on the eastern boundary of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This has lead to an uptick in visitor arrivals and tour groups interested in seeing this amazing show and relatively rare event. Tour captain for Lava Ocean Adventures and Lava Ocean Tours Inc., Shane Turpin, stated, “It’s always steady around here. It’s just more people are interested in seeing the active flow where it’s entering the ocean. When it does touch the ocean, we run a more specialized just-lava-watching tour. Being able to see it on land is one thing; when it’s touching the ocean, it’s quite an exciting time. I’ve been following this volcano my whole life, and I’ve stopped trying to predict it. I just sit here and enjoy it when it’s happening.”
