Experience the Unique Lava Bus! Off-Grid Renovated Tour Bus

Perched high above the clouds on the stunning slopes of Mauna Loa, the Lava Bus! Off-Grid Renovated tour bus awaits your arrival at the enchanting Lava Land Homestead. This fully renovated former tour bus provides a unique escape for adventurous travelers eager to immerse themselves in the breathtaking starry skies and unusual landscapes of upper Ocean View.

If you're a coffee enthusiast, you'll love the opportunity to grind your own locally sourced Ka'u coffee, perfectly complemented with sweet Hawaiian honey to enjoy during serene sunrises. As the sun sets, you can gather around for a BBQ or cozy up by a small fire, savoring the spectacular views.

Your stay includes a comfortable sleeping arrangement with a memory foam mattress dressed in premium sheets and duvet. The interior features a dining table, chess board table, loveseat, and a fully-equipped kitchen. We provide delightful touches like Hawaiian coffee, local honey, and fresh eggs from our resident chickens.

For your convenience, there’s a hot water shower stocked with fresh towels and washcloths, along with a compost toilet that comes with easy-to-follow instructions. Life here on the volcano is an adventure in itself, enhanced by the ever-changing weather conditions; be sure to pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Should the temperature drop, a propane heater is available for your comfort.

Please keep in mind that this remote location may present some challenges; certain cell phones might experience limited service, and there is no wifi. Navigating the lava terrain can also be tricky, so this experience is not recommended for those with mobility issues.

Guest Access:

You are welcome to meander through the homestead gardens or traverse the 2+ acres of lava fields, but do watch your step as many areas are still developing with immature plants! Feel free to share any leftovers with the chickens, while the turkeys enjoy fresh greens, and our rabbits prefer carrots or other fruits and veggies. Be prepared for a cheerful wake-up call from the roosters around 6 am.

Additional Information:

No need for a 4x4 vehicle, as the road leading to this incredible destination is paved all the way. Come and discover the magic of the Lava Bus! Off-Grid Renovated tour bus and create unforgettable memories!

Summary: My girlfriend and I wanted to adventure the southern part of the island and needed a private and peaceful place to stay. The Lava Bus had everything a regular house does plus a very comfortable bed and amazing scenery. We wanted to use the fire pit and our super friendly host brought down some wood for us right away! Looking forward to our next stay at the magical Lava Bus! Mahalo Kitty!
