Arthur, will you still be guiding for Volcano Discovery if the lava becomes accessible again?
Absolutely! I am still guiding with Volcano Discovery primarily, and on occasion will guide for other organizations as well. For now the lava may not be accessible legally, but that only gives us an opportunity to show people what they would have missed if they were to only do the hike itself. Rare birds and plants, happyface spiders, hidden geological features, and the cultural connections (from an informed haole perspective) are easily missed by most, and this is our chance to show our customers there is more to hawaii than just the lava. This is a chance to show what Pele has built a foundation for, and what has come into existence as a result of so many unique interactions - past and present.
