Few experienced exceed my expectations but the Lava Loft certainly did. Jade was beyond helpful and she immediately felt more like a friend than a host. Thanks to her knowledge and great energy we had a really authentic experience in Puna - just what we were looking for. The Lava Loft itself is very comfortable and a peaceful place of refuge. Falling asleep to the breeze coming in over the lava flows was just magical. For anyone who is into volcanoes and the more go-slow pace of life this is the jackpot. We really could see the lava flowing into the ocean from the windows of the loft at night as Jade's home is closest to the setting off point to the hike. I almost didn't want to share this experience with anyone else as it felt so private and so personal.

Peace and love to Jade and her family and we already look forward to visiting Kalapana again.
