The Lava Temple is a spectacular retreat on an already breathtaking island. It is 100% atypical and beautiful in its unique nature. You need to be alright with some little bug visitors the whole, which is the trade off for waking up to the freshest morning air and an unhindered sunrise. Personally, drinking filtered rain water isn’t my cup of tea, it’s got a very specific taste, so, I would personally recommend bringing some gallon jugs of water along for consumption. Jade and her caretakers were very generous and immediate to respond to any questions. I would one hundred percent recommend staying here if you’re not looking for the fake-resort kind of visit. Kalapana is about an hours drive, at the very least, from most places you’re going to visit on the island. But, that being said, it is called the BIG island. Plus, when it’s easy to wake up at 6am, you have all the time in the world to get stuff done.
