I have personally been on the Lavakat twice now. I went alone the first time and had such a great experience I took my girlfriend the second time. She loved it. It is a little scary to be so close to the rivers of lava. There is certainly an element of risk involved. I do consider it one of the most memorable things I did while in Puna. The nighttime launch from Pohiki in a relatively small boat, going out over the surf. (hold on!), fishing for the biggest ono and Mahi I personally have ever caught, watching the sunrise over the ocean, feeling the heat of the lava and seeing it so up close. I would recommend this trip. It is possibly the element of danger, real and imagined that makes the trip so memorable.
And John, I'm sure you are a nice guy and great real estate agent, but your professional designations, address and phone number on each and every post DOES constitute advertising. I had to chuckle when I read your reply also.
