Amazing TR, pics and writeup!

One note to those planning a Lava biking trip:
There are quite a few bikes available with gel padded or memory foam seats. Getting those will make all the difference!

You can call Kalapana cultural tours and ask them to hold a bike for you.

(I learned this the hard way, as you did...)

Amazing! You're making awesome memories for the kids and I feel that they gain so much from these kinds of trips!

Too bad we couldn't meet up, my fam had very specific agendas for our (too short) time! I guess all the turtles were following is, we couldnt believe how many we came across, specifically near two-step.

Glad you enjoyed the seahorse farm, I wasn't sure about it so we skipped it. Maybe next time

I really love your pictures, you capture so much in each image! Yasher koach for sharing!

Wow. Thank you. We're going in November and have small children. You have really inspired me to know that I can give our kids a wonderful cultural experience and they can see some of the natural wonders this island has to offer. I really prefer to show them a more organic experience rather than a completely Resort based experience.

Just got to reading this... really a great report! Fun, enjoyable, looks like you guys had a great time. You always make it seem so easy to travel with kids. :) Boy those lava pictures as well as the rest are quite remarkable.
