The sun leans low over the North Shore of Oʻahu as you slide into the worn leather seats of a classic Volkswagen campervan. The engine hums to life—a gentle rumble that feels less like transportation and more like an invitation. With a local guide at the wheel, you pull out into palm-lined roads where the salty ocean breeze dares you to relax and soak in the island spirit.
