Even though Koko Crater is most known for its hiking trails, this is hands-down my favorite view of the massive active volcanic. Capture the electric green landscape against the rugged coastline and you'll create a jaw-dropping photo that'll make anyone (local or not) want to visit this spot!

This image of Koko Crater and the coastline was taken from Lanai Lookout. Travel along Kalaniana'ole Hwy (72) and then reference the GPS coordinates to see where the lookout spot is. From there, you'll be able to launch your drone and fly south for this north-facing view of the peaks.
