So this is a really long shot, but here goes:
We'll be spending a week on Oahu in about six weeks. We've been to Oahu many times (I used to live there) so sacrificing a day or two of Oahu time for a trip to the Big Island isn't a big thing. With the lava flowing into the sea these days (yes, I know it stops and starts without warning), we're thinking if it's happening when we're there, about seeing if we can figure a way to hop over to the BI, see the lava flow from the water, then head back to Oahu for the rest of our week. Checking out early from our non-timeshare location on Oahu isn't an option, due to a special rate we got that requires staying the full week. So this has to be a side trip during the week, over and back.
I've searched online but haven't had any luck finding any tour companies who do single-day charters. I'd think the lava flowing would be a reason to have such a thing. Money may be the deal-breaker, more than the time, but I'm optimistic. Does anybody have any ideas, or info about a company that does this? I'm not against getting day-trip airline tickets and renting a car. We have accommodations available in Volcano if we need them.
Whatcha think?
