Richard is a great guy, helpful, knowledgeable and generous. I traveled alone with my toddler and he got a few extra things to use while we camped. I was glad I asked as it made a big difference to our trip. The car is awesome and was super clean when we got it. It runs well and has lots of room and power. The roof top tent is so cool too and very comfortable.
A few notes:
Campsites along the road to Hana are very minimal and don’t even really have showers or proper toilets, privacy, designated camping areas or tables near the campsites. Just be prepared.
Camp olowalu is very popular and a good central campsite. I’d recommend using the rooftop tent there. I made the mistake of thinking I wanted to be away from the parking lot and not realizing how far the campsites are from the car.
If you choose to stay in the ground tent bring a sleeping pad or double check there is one.
Richard might pick you up at the airport. If he does plan for extra time.
Mahalo.
