With a single post page then you need to get the terms associated with the post, get_queried_object() will not help you.

// WP loop
while (have_posts()) {
  the_post();
  $term = false;
  $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'detinations');
  // $terms is an array of term object
  // use the first term found
  if ($terms) {
    $term = $terms[0];
    if ($term->parent) {
      // term is not at the top level
      $ancestors = get_ancestors($term_id, 'destinations', 'taxonomy');
      $top_term_id = array_pop($ancestors);
      $term = get_term($top_term_id, 'destinations');
    }
  }
  // $term now holds the top level term of a hierarchical taxonomy
  // based on the first term found for this post
  // or false if no term is selected for this post
  if ($term) {
    // output fields from the term
    the_field('big_image', $term);
  }
} // end while have_posts
