Pahoa, Hawaii Nov.18th Lava Flow Update and Photo Video Tour

Pahoa, Hawaii 

Nov.18th Lava Flow Update

I did not take, nor do I own the following three photos. 

I am only using them to share information.

The first photo shows the lava flow 

from the hill overlooking Pahoa Town.

This next photo shows how the lava flow 

looks from the Town of Pahoa.

As you can clearly see, there is now an active lava

flow entering Pahoa Town. 

I wish all of the inhabitants of Pahoa Town

good health and well being.

Pahoa is currently still open for business.

Please stop by and visit the town

and support the local businesses.

There is a nice selection of restaurants to

choose from as well as a bar, local museum, 

and USPS Post Office.

My favorite place in Pahoa is Habitat Tattoo. 

It is where I have been getting my

tribal tattoos for the last two years.

Nancy Girl's tattoos are known all over the

Hawaiian Islands and even the world.

I went to Pahoa Town a few days ago

and took a photographic tour of the area

and made the following video to share.

I lived in Puna last year while I wrote my first book

"Aloha Joe in Hawaii"

and Pahoa holds a place in my heart.

Once you have lived here, it is easy to

understand why people would brave an

active volcano, earthquakes, hurricanes, sharks, 

and more, just to live here.

I would like to say to all of the residents in harms way

in Pahoa, and around the world,

Mahalo Nui Loa.

Aloha Ke Akua.

A Hou Ho.

Aloha,

Go Hawaii - Aloha Joe and the Big Island

Go Hawaii 

has ALLOT of great information

for vistitors to the Hawaiian Islands.

I personally love the Big Island and Maui,

but every Hawaiian Islands is beautiful

and unique in its own way.

Out of the existing 13 micro-climates

 on the face of the earth,

11 of them can be found on 

the Big Island!

The Golf Capitol of the Hawaiian Islands

also happens to be the Big Island.

The Hamaku Waterfalls along Hawaii's 

coastline are equally spectacular.

You can also visit Volcano National Park

or swim with Manta Rays in Kona!

Hawaii is waiting for you!

Aloha

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

I took a self guided tour recently of

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

I had a wonderful time and was amazed by the

incredible natural landscape of Mauna Loa.

Sitting on top of the Kilauea Crater definitely

lets you know just how small we really are.

My favorite part of the tour was seeing all of the craters on the 

Chain of Craters road. It is twenty miles of ancient calderas and craters.

I made a video of some of the photos that I took on my tour.

Hopefully one day you will also be able to visit this 

World Heritage Site for yourself.
