Built for five-star comfort on the road, tested through a real-world global adventure
Tiny Planet’s founders lived in the van for 6 months with their toddler — refining every system through real-world experience.
The Round-the-World Expedition
25,000 miles
6 months
3 continents
1 family
Orbita traveled from California across North America, Europe, and Asia — from Baltimore to Liverpool and from England to Shanghai.
191 days of real-world testing across deserts, mountains, cities, and remote regions.
The expedition crossed North America, Europe, and Asia with ocean crossings through both the Atlantic and Pacific.
Two adults and an 18-month-old daughter lived on the road full-time during the expedition.
First documented circumnavigation by a camper van
One family, one van, six months on the road — proving what long-term travel really requires.

A few quick questions
They help us prepare for your visit. Then you pick a date and time.
A Private Luxury Retreat
Rather than feeling like a traditional camper van, Orbita was designed as a private luxury retreat that happens to move. Inspired by contemporary minimalist architecture, the interior combines soft organic forms, natural materials, and a refined neutral palette to create a calm and restorative environment. Bamboo, stone, natural light, and carefully crafted details work together to deliver a sense of warmth, sophistication, and quiet luxury wherever the journey leads.
