Java Lava Coastal and Volcano Hike Weekend

The Java Lava group hikes and backpack trips are a lot of fun. Friendly, fit, professional people, of all ages-many in the STEM fields- enjoy the challenge of hiking up and down volcanoes.  And to make sure that you have the energy to talk the night away after a long 8 hour climb up there are the guides and porters who keep us on the right trail and lighten our load. And what is the biggest thrill? Well, of course, the possibility that you might witness an eruption that lights up the sky all night.

On this particular hike, we stayed in one of the Java Lava members resort hotel called the Ocean Queen Resort in West Java. Unlike Bali, this area is not full of a lot of tourists; Indonesians, expats and adventurers...yet!
