The Hawaii Lava Update is a collaboration between Paradise Helicopters pilots, guests, and professionals to bring you the most recent activity of the volcanoes found in Hawaii. When possible, we fly professional photographers and videographers. We also have a few GoPros that get video for us. Whatever the source, we love sharing the power and incredible diversity of our volcanic home. Check back often, because Pele is as unpredictable as she is beautiful!
