You can easily navigate most of the caves on The Island with a Desmodus. Beware of Purlovia in the Snow cave as there are sections where you have to fly low and the Purlovia can stun and dismount you. Go at night and use the invisibility buff. There is no other way that I will do the Lava Cave than on one of these. They absolutely shred Onycs, just fly backwards biting and watch the flying rats melt.
