Camping on the beach or extremely close to it! We recommend Malaekahana Beach Campground for easy access to anywhere you want on the Island. Their sites are $10 per person a night for a 2 person site and $50 for a late fee premium site. We’ll worth it. The grass at the premiums is way nicer especially for the shower. If your up to travel an hour each way you can hit most of the Island from here as a base camp.
I’m 6’4” and fit on the bed! I could even stretch all the way out. It’s comfortable too. We slept very well. We made fresh French press coffee daily and cooked light meals. The van is set up for you to cook easily!
The black out curtains are nice if you don’t want a super early wake up, or want to miss the sunrise… but the chickens around the Island will tell you what time it is.
We added the SUP and it’s so worth it!!! There are so many nice calm waters for beginners to pros, we were new to it and plan to buy our own when we get home.
Keeping up on the battery power can seem to be tricky, but it is easy. Drive a little each day and turn the inverter off at night! Also buy ice and keep it in the fridge. Then you don’t have to use up battery power for that. We never had a battery issue.
We took a lot of the ideas from this build as we are preparing our first build! Thanks for everything. We loved every minute of it.
