This was an amazing experience. I had no idea what to expect, and we were prepared to book a hotel if this ended up not working for us.(not because of the glamper but because of our ability to actually sleep in a van for 6 nights etc...) I have no regrets! We had read some reviews and blogs before booking. It was our first time to this Island and yes! It is a lot busier and bigger than Kauai or Maui. The fact that we didn't have to drive back to a hotel or else really saved us some time, and gas money. I fell in love with the glamper! It was surprisingly really comfortable, it was ok clean, but I mean... you know when you book this type of accommodation, you can't expect a spotless vehicle. You are going to be on an island for a few days, going to the beach... There will be sand, sunscreen, salt.... There were a few ants, but we got that under control right away. We made sure to keep everything clean, in a bag, we got Windex and sprayed everything ET VOILA!
We made it our own really quickly. There are some covers for the windows that are just a game changer. It makes the whole van completely dark, but also gives you a lot of privacy when needed.
The only small cons were:
- the shower did not work for us and unfortunately no solution was provided by the contact. BUT, we had found our spot in the North shore where there is a park and a shower. We would just go there and shower, brush our teeth etc... :)
- We ran out of propane for the small stove. Again, that's no biggie, but it was a bummer when it happened because we were hungry!
- When we arrived, the big charger for the little "fridge" was almost empty. It charges up while driving. It's fine, but make sure you check before you stock up on cold food! ;)
We rented 1 paddleboard and a surfboard. Both were great!! We had a lot of fun!
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend the glamper and the experience on its own. Discovering the island this way was wonderful, the van was super enjoyable, safe, and great on gas!
