Day 1: California Dreaming: Famous Movie Sets &Amp; Venice Beach Vibes

A dream comes true! You’ve waited so long for this and now the day has finally come - you board the plane to Los Angeles. You close your eyes and dream one last time of the adventures that await you before they finally come true. And the best thing about it: the time difference means you arrive in Los Angeles on the same day.
See for yourself how the stars and starlets live in the metropolis on the Pacific coast. Take a detour to Beverly Hills, stroll along the famous Walk of Fame and take a closer look at the more than 2,500 shimmering pink stars on the ground. What you can’t miss on an L.A. trip, of course? The famous Hollywood Sign! You can enjoy a perfect view of it at the Griffith Observatory.

Day 2: California Dreaming: Movie Spots &Amp; Beach Vibes

Do you already feel like you’re in a movie? At the latest when you stand on the famous Santa Monica Pier and look at the brightly colored Ferris wheel and the rattling roller coaster, this feeling spreads through you! After all, this setting has already served as the backdrop for many films! The view of the Californian coast and the ocean from the wooden bridge is simply stunning and your finger on the shutter of your camera makes for a perfect souvenir photo. Of course, Venice Beach should not be missed on your discovery tour. The Ocean Front Walk is bustling with life - there’s no other place where you can experience the California lifestyle as closely as here! On Muscle Beach, musclemen work out while artists spread out their masterpieces between the graffiti-covered buildings, restaurants and cafés. Street musicians provide the best entertainment while you enjoy a cool drink.

Day 3: Vanlife Adventure À La Hawaii: Home Is Where You Park It!

Los Angeles was just the beginning, because the ultimate highlight of your trip awaits you today in Hawaii - on the island of O’ahu to be precise. So hop on the plane, wave goodbye to L.A. one last time and then it’s time to go: Aloha Hawaii! From the airport it’s straight to the rental car station, where your home on four wheels awaits you: a cult VW van converted into a campervan or a Ford Transit! Where to go now? That’s up to you! You’re the boss behind the wheel. Take this unique opportunity to explore the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii on your own and simply live the day in the best vanlife style. A possible first stop: Camp Mokuleia on the north coast of O’ahu - just a few meters from the sea. With a bit of luck, you might spot dolphins and sea turtles here. Grab your diving goggles and snorkel and dive into the colorful underwater world or slip on your hiking boots and explore the tropical forests that surround the campsite. One thing is clear: there’s never a dull moment here!

Day 4: Aloha State Of Mind: Road Trip Through The Green Heart Of O’Ahu

What could be better than being woken up by the first rays of sunshine falling into the van? Right, nothing at all! Your homemade breakfast tastes twice as good outside in the sun, with a view of the beach and the sea! You’d love to stay here forever, but there’s so much more to discover! How about a stop at Ahupua’a o Kahana State Park? One thing is immediately clear to you: the journey is the destination here. Accompanied by the deep blue ocean to your left and the bright green nature to your right, you speed along the highway. When you reach the campground, you are amazed: high, green mountains line the bay in which Ahupua’a o Kahana State Park is located. You can get an even better view of the bay from the Kapa’ele’ele Ko’a and Keaniani Lookout Trail. The approximately 1.6 km long hiking trail also takes you past cultural sites. So what are you waiting for? In the evening, sit in front of your van and gaze at the deep red sun slowly disappearing into the sea on the horizon - simply magical!

New day, new adventure! Not ready to part with the fantastic view of Kahana Bay just yet? Nothing says you can’t spend another day right here and simply enjoy the sun! Want a change of pace? Just outside Honolulu is the Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area in the middle of the forest. Ready for a road trip? The natural beauty of Hawaii will reveal itself to you on the way! Huge, green-covered mountains line the roads and, together with the bright blue sky, form the perfect backdrop for your stage. Van parked? Then it’s high time to slip into your hiking boots. Because the Aiea Loop Trail, an approximately eight-kilometre hiking trail that runs along the west side of the Halawa Valley, starts and ends directly at the campsite. Once you reach the top, an incredible view of Pearl Harbor, Honolulu and Diamond Head awaits you - what a view!

What are you waiting for? Grab your paddle and plunge into the ocean! Spend the evening by the campfire, with a view of the sea and the gentle sound of the waves in your ears, and you’ll be sure that you’ve found paradise on earth! It’s hard to get used to the idea of returning your campervan tomorrow.

Arrive in peace, explore the grounds and refresh yourself with a dip in the pool. Feeling a little peckish? Then you should definitely pay a visit to the market halls. Your foodie heart will leap for joy when you smell all kinds of different dishes in the International Marketplace.

Waikiki Beach - the name alone is music to your ears. So what are you waiting for? Slip into your swimsuit, put on your sunglasses and off you go to the beach - the one with the unique aloha feeling! White sandy beach as far as the eye can see. No matter what your perfect beach day looks like, here you’ll find the stretch of beach that’s just right for you. Do you like action? Then Fort DeRussy Beach Park or Royal Hawaiian Beach is the place for you! You’ll find all kinds of water activities here: From canoes to surfboards, you can rent and learn everything here (optional, payable on site). If you like it quieter, San Souci Beach is your place to be! The beach is less touristy and is mainly used by locals. It is a little away from the big hotels and also offers the best snorkeling spot in the area.

You feel a little wistful at the thought of having to leave Hawaii now, but luckily you’re not going home yet, but to San Francisco!

"If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". With or without flowers in your hair, but guaranteed with a catchy tune, you’ll be boarding the plane today that will take you to Sunny California in just a few hours.
Suitcases stowed away? Then start your discovery tour on Market Street in Downtown, at the turning point of the famous cable cars. So why not hop on right away and explore the city on the historic rails (optional, payable locally)? Especially recommended: the Powell-Hyde line, which runs from Powell across the city to northern Hyde. Stopover at Union Square - a must! Restaurants, cafés, boutiques and other stores are lined up here. No wonder it’s one of the city’s meeting places! Continue on to one of the most famous photo spots and probably the most winding street in the world: Lombard Street. The red cobbled street winds its way downhill in eight bends - surrounded by a veritable sea of flowers. Of course, one must-see is still missing: the Golden Gate Bridge! At the terminus in Hyde, the iconic bridge shines in all its glory. So, don’t forget your camera!

San Francisco is just waiting to be discovered by you and nothing will keep you in your hotel room. So off you go! Thick fog greets you as you step out onto the street - but don’t worry, it will clear as the day progresses. You make your way to the famous harbor district of Fisherman’s Wharf. From Aquatic Park Pier, you walk along the coastline and catch a glimpse of a very special city landmark: Alcatraz Prison Island. Your path will take you past the Maritime National Historical Park, where several historic ships are moored and can be visited (admission payable on site). The closer you get to Pier 39, the louder the spectacle of the sea lions living in the wild can be heard - a truly entertaining show! Do you like it sweet? Then don’t miss out on a visit to the famous Ghirardelli chocolate factory! You can even taste the chocolate.
