Explore Hawaii with Carlos Vantana

Experience the ultimate freedom of travel with our fully-equipped camper van rental, perfect for exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Big Island.

One of the things that makes Carlos Vantana truly special is the flexible bed setup. Depending on your mood or the view, you can configure the bed in two different ways.

First, you can set it up lengthwise (parallel to the van), which is perfect for stretching out fully after a long beach day. Alternatively, you can rotate it sideways (perpendicular to the van), creating a lounge-style seat with a soft backrest and pillows.

With the side door open, the curtains pulled back, and a cool breeze drifting through, it becomes the ultimate spot to nap, read, or simply take in the ocean view. In fact, it might just be the best seat on the island—whether you’re watching the waves roll in or drifting off for a sunset snooze.

Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or a week-long island adventure, Carlos Vantana is ready to be your home on wheels. Not only is he equipped with everything you need to stay comfortable on the road, but he also offers the flexibility to create the experience that suits your style.

For example, you might wake up near a quiet beach, brew your morning coffee with the doors wide open, and watch the island come to life. On the other hand, if you’re chasing waterfalls or volcano views, Carlos makes it easy to pack up and roll out with zero hassle.

And no matter the weather, Carlos has you covered. If you’re staying in Hilo, where it often rains, you’ll stay warm, dry, and cozy inside. Likewise, if you’re spending the night in Volcano National Park, where the temps drop surprisingly low, Carlos becomes your snug little shelter in the clouds.

In addition, camping on the Big Island gives you access to breathtaking views, remote beaches, and peaceful nights under the stars. As a result, every day on the island can feel completely different—yet totally your own.

Above all, this is your adventure, and Carlos is here to help you live it fully.

Exploring Hawaiʻi in a camper van isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about how you get there. With Carlos Vantana, the journey becomes part of the adventure.

For instance, you can wake up with the sunrise at Laupahoehoe Beach Park, cook breakfast to the sound of crashing waves, and head off to your next hidden gem without ever packing a suitcase.

Even better, Carlos comes fully stocked with the essentials—beach gear, cooking basics, and a cooler to keep your island finds fresh. In addition, you’ll have the freedom to follow the weather, chase the sun, or linger an extra day wherever the island feels just right.

At the end of the day, van life is about slowing down and savoring the journey. Carlos makes that easy, breezy, and unforgettable.
