I don't know about hiking up to see the lava on Mauna Loa (I read the area has been closed off for awhile due to a likely eruption), but when I was on the Big Island during a Kilauea eruption I took a helicopter flight over the lava flows. It was a great experience. I took one marketed as "Feel the heat" that had the doors removed. We did not fly over the main caldera but over some lava flows further down the mountain in the Puna district. I quite enjoyed it and I sure did "Feel the heat" when flying over the faster moving sections of the flows that were glowing red.
