Is it dangerous in Hawaii?

Certain parts of the island close to the lava and the ash cloud are dangerous.

  • Stay away from the ash cloud, because it can affect your breathing.
  • Stay away from the lava, because it’s not controllable and so hot it burns stone within seconds. And yes, it will burn you too!
  • Stay away from the toxic fumes where the lava enters the ocean.

Shall I reschedule my Hawaii vacation?

The Hawaii Tourism Authority says: NO. There is no reason to reschedule or cancel your Hawai’i vacation. Air quality in Hawaii is good, only small parts of the Big Island are affected by the volcanic eruption.
