Pictures - Hawaii

If you make it to the big island of Hawaii, and you're not deathly afraid of heights or roller coaster type rides, I highly recommend you contact Paradise Helicopters and reserve seats for their "Doors off with Waterfalls/Feel the Heat" helicopter tour. At the time we were there in 2007, Paradise used a smaller helicopter for this tour, removed the doors, and the pilot went into a steep banking turn over Kilauea so we could take pictures and feel the heat. It was amazing!
