My sister and I took a helicopter tour of the Hawaii "Big Island" about 10 years ago. Not thrill-seeking, but to see the phenomenal scenery (and it was truly phenomenal). Loved every minute of the 4 hours.
We flew over the crater of an active volcano - could see bubbling lava, along with miles of fairly recent lava fields as well as the local fires as the lava slowly advanced through the rain forest - burning everything in its path. Although it did occur to that would be a really, really bad time to have to make an emergency landing

If you're never seen parts of the Hawaiian Islands from the air, you have no idea what you are missing.
