It is a very special experience to stay on top of the lava. We were lucky that our entire trip didn't get impact from hurricane and Jade was kind enough to upgrade us to her magic temple which is a open window house that allows you to see active lava and star from your bed,which is awesome! It only takes around 3 hours round trip to hike from Jade's house to see active lava flow into ocean. For those of you want something special than stay in regular hotel, this is a place for you, I will say it is a most unique place I've ever seen before, we both enjoyed stay with Jade's host.
