Nick and Jean are exceptional hosts, hands down the best we've had so far.
Soon after we made the reservation they reached out with comprehensive information about camping on Maui and helpful tips. When we struggled to find a site for a portion of our trip, they put us in touch with another excellent host that had a beautiful spot for us near Hana. When we arrived at the airport, they were standing by to pick us up and give us a "tour" of the truck. They gave us a thorough primer on how to set up and tear down the tent, and a walkthrough of all of the included gear. Pretty much everything you need for camping and cooking is already in the truck, it's an awesome setup that even has a fridge that runs on a secondary battery.
At the end of trip, they coordinated with us to refill gas at Costco and dropped us at the airport. I can't emphasize how helpful the pickup and drop off were. It took so much of the stress away from our arrival/departure and helped maximize the short time we had there.
Camping is a great way to experience the island. The only caveats are:
1. Do your research and book your campsites early. The demand for camping on Maui is higher than the supply. We saw some renegade campers on the beaches, but it's a possible $1000 fine, so better to have reservations lined up. Also, it's illegal to park on most public streets in Maui overnight. Check with Nick and Jean if you're having trouble finding a spot, they might be able to help out.
2. If you have mobility issues, the setup and entry/exit on the tent might be difficult. It's has an aluminum ladder at about 45 degrees that could be challenging for some people. If you can climb a normal ladder and step up on the tailgate of a truck (to set the tent up), you should be fine.
Our trip to Maui was amazing thanks to Nick and Jean. If you're considering camping on Maui, I highly recommend renting a vehicle from them. They're awesome people and will take great care of you.
