Above the clouds, on the slopes of Mauna Loa the Lava Bus has come to rest on the Lava Land Homestead. 100% Off-Grid, this fully renovated former tour bus will delight adventurous travellers looking to experience the star-gazing and "other-wordly" experiences of upper Ocean View. Coffee Lovers will enjoy grinding their own Ka'u coffee, perfect with local honey to sip at sunrise. Have a BBQ or small fire to stay warm while you enjoy the epic sunsets.
The space:
The bus features a memory foam mattress with
sheets and duvet, a dining table, chess board table, loveseat and kitchen. We include Hawaiian coffee and local honey along with fresh eggs from our chickens.
3.person bed is a 2" floor sleeping mat with sleeping bag and pillow.
The bus has a hot water shower with fresh towels and wash clothes and a compost toilet, with simple instructions for use.
Life on the volcano is always an adventure and the weather can add to the excitement, bring a few warm clothes and sturdy shoes. There is a propane heater if needed.
Please note: This is a remote location, some cell phones may struggle to get service. There is no wifi. Lava can be difficult to walk on; this adventure is not recommended for people with limited mobility.
Guest access
You are invited to walk around the homestead gardens or explore the 2+ acres of lava, but watch out, there are many immature plants! Our property is very young so many areas are still being developed.
Toss your leftovers to the chickens, Turkeys like fresh greens and rabbits too- plus carrots or fruits and veggies!
Roosters like to welcome the day around 6 am.
Other things to note:
You do NOT need a 4x4 vehicle. The road is paved the the way.
