Our Favorite Places In The Park

Thurston Lava Tube

No matter what the weather is like, your trip will not be complete unless you experience the walk through this geological masterpiece. Tubes like this are created when lava slowly snakes down the mountain. The top of the flowing lava becomes chilled by the air above the channel and hardens into a crust of rock. When the lava flow stops a hollow tube remains.

A final word about visiting the volcano-- this is a rough and wild place. And it is also a place held sacred by the Hawaiian people. Follow the park's safety guidelines and please show honor and respect for the privilege you have of visiting this place.

For detailed information to help you plan your visit see the Park's web site at www.hawaii.volcanoes.national-park.com or call the visitor's center at (808) 985-6000.

Our Three Stone Coffee is coveted among coffee lovers around the world and is so rare that there isn't enough produced for every American to have even one sip per year. We are only able to produce enough of this handcrafted coffee  for our Java On The Rock customers and a few lucky connoisseurs who order beans.  Bruce invented our special Three Stone TM  process and personally roasts all of our coffee.  We opened Java On The Rock in 1998 with 18 years experience in specialty coffee.  We understand every aspect of creating great coffee and espresso from growing, processing, roasting, packaging, storing, maintaining our equipment, brewing, and pulling shots.  Our Baristas are trained for up to two months before assuming responsibility for preparing coffee and espresso drinks.  Expertise, passion, and our daily involvement in bringing you coffee from the tree to the cup...that's why you can taste the difference!  Enjoy your visit with us!
