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 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
high quality sheets and blankets, a dining table, chess board table, loveseat and kitchenette. We include Hawaiian coffee and local honey along with fresh eggs from our chickens when available.
the bed is full-sized and there is a 2" floor sleeping mat with sleeping bag and pillow.foe children or an additional guest.

The bus has a hot water shower with fresh towels and wash clothes and a compost toilet. We service the toilet every other day.

Life on the volcano is always an adventure and the weather can add to the excitement, bring a few warm clothes and sturdy shoes.

Please note: This is a remote location, some cell phones may struggle to get service. WIFI may be available, please ask. 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. There is sometimes barking dogs and other agricultural noises though usually very quiet at night.

Other things to note:
You do NOT need a 4x4 vehicle. The road is paved the the way.
