Due to lack of reviews and the parking lot location of the vehicle, I was admittedly skeptical of this listing, but we booked Shelly’s 4Runner somewhat last minute to avoid flying our tent and camping gear out to Hawaii with us and we’re glad we did.
With that being said, while we appreciate the gear that was included in the vehicle, we thought maybe it would be stored somewhere more discreetly so it wasn’t in the way. We were a bit surprised to get to the vehicle and see the passenger seat packed to the ceiling with both the cooler and the large bin containing the camping/kitchen gear. Having flown out for an 8 day trip with backpacks and two large luggage bags, physical space in the 4Runner is at a premium so I just wish there would’ve been a photo of the bin and cooler so there was transparency about how much gear is included so that we could’ve planned for it or just requested that they be removed ahead of time.
But we made it work and put the bin and cooler outside of the vehicle each night while we put our luggage bags in the front seats. We booked drive-in camp sites and found our own ocean-side camping and had a great time exploring the island and check-in and check-out was simple.
My only other critique is that it says you can walk to the parking lot which I just simply wouldn’t recommend for most people. You can’t walk straight thru the parking lots because of all the fences and when you walk around there are exactly zero sidewalks around the terminal or on the busy highway the lot is off of. Just a bike lane and a dirt path that’s usually muddy due to the rain. Best to just take an Uber which would probably cost you $3. I’m still shocked they would even list walking as an option without being extremely detailed and explicit about exactly what route to walk and the potential dangers and inconveniences of doing so.
