what is the best time of the day to view Big Island volcano from an helicopter?

Jahanpanah asked:


I am planning to visit Big Island in the December time frame. Going through various blog sites, I see that helicopter ride is the best way to get close up of the volcano. Can somebody recommend a particular company that provides helicopter rides? I would also like to know the best time of the day to do this tour?
Thanks.

    Sunset or night time is the best. It is awesome to see the lava spewing into the ocean. You can also walk to the lava flows but it can take a few hours over rouch terrain. We were just there awesome !!!

    Blue Hawaiian Helicopters is good…Make sure you check with the park’s website daily for visibility reports. Sometimes if the lava is flowing the steam from the ocean entry obscures everything.
