Laurens place was the perfect location to experience the lava flowing area. Lauren and Matt were super friendly and great hosts. Our rooms were clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We arrived late and were so excited to get up close to see the lava, we grabbed the headlights and bikes and took off. We were under the impression to reach the was 45minutes but were sorely mistaken. Our journey was close to 5 hours (reaching to largest flowing area at the furest point and making our way back). Make sure you're well prepared for a long hike and get all the safety tips prior to leaving.
