Helo vs Hike are going to be two completely different experiences. I'm glad i did the hike because there is nothing like standing by the lava and feeling the heat on your face. A couple of updates from my prior post. Everything says the parking lot for the lava viewing area opens at 3p but i showed up at 2p and rented a bike and went. If you go earlier like i did it may take a little longer to find the flows since there are fewer people on the flow looking for the lava. Big flow equals lot of people. From the lava viewing area you can rent a bike and ride 4 miles. Or hire a shuttle that will take you 3 1/5 miles and walk road 1/2 mile down the road to enter lava field. Then hike an hour over the lave field to a flow. A guild in not necessarily a better option. I met up with a group hoping a basket ball size blob would start to flow before they ran out of time and had to head back while a huge flow was going 100 yards away. It hot on the lava field, I went through 4 20 oz bottles of Gatorade for my 5 hours out. I took 100-400, 24-70 and tri-pod for when it got dark. About 2/3 of the of the shots were on the 24-70 but was glad i bought 100 - 400. Its hard to shoot one it get real dark because the flows are so bright compared to everything else and all the head lights and flash on the flows.
