About this itinerary
Overview
Big Island is the most unusual van destination in the Pacific. Over 10 days, you drive alongside still-smouldering lava fields, camp in tropical forests and watch lava flow into the ocean from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. An island that feels more like a sci-fi landscape than a beach paradise.
