The trip was amazing! I had originally booked to stay in the SUV, but it was in the shop for repairs so James switched us to the truck for our stay. It was very comfortable and got us everywhere we needed to go! The bed in the tepui is a little stiff but was perfect for what we needed. There were pots and pans and utensils for the camp stove, but no spices (salt/pepper) which was fine.
The Big Island itself has limited camping availability, we stayed in Volcanoes National Park, Black Sands Beach which is available 24 hours, and Laupahoehoe beach which is also 24 hours and has showers. I would recommend making reservations in advance at other spots since some required 72 hour advanced reservations.
Can’t wait to come back and will definitely rent from James in the future! Mahalo!
