Incredibly unique experience. We got to see multiple fissures from the 2018 eruption and also learn about how events transpired and how the lavas impacted people's lives. It was an incredibly somber and special experience. You also get some very close up views of fissures and actually get to stand inside of a few of them. Amazing experience and Rod was a great guide.

Rod gave us an amazing tour of several of the 2018 eruption vents at their properties. This is a unique experience. Nowhere else can one experience the devastating beauty of a natural phenomenon like this recent eruption and at the same time get to share for a moment the togertheness of this tight community and what they went through. The sites are stunning, riveting.

We had a sneak peek of this tour when it was not in normal operation. Excellent views of lava flows, fissures and fissure 8 cinder cone. Moving stories of the residents' experiences during the 2018 eruption which showcased the best and worst of humanity.
