From start to finish Santiago was the perfect host. Great communication and local resource leading up to the trip...even during the trip he checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying the van. This van was one of my favorite vehicles I've ever driven and I didn't want to give it back. The restoration job and original engine were great. We lived in it for a week and Santiago had it stocked with everything you could need to live comfortably. Speaking of comfort...one of our concerns leading into it was the comfort of the bed, but it was plenty comfortable even for myself as a larger 6'1" guy. He even met us at the airport to pick it up upon departure which was incredibly convenient and added a few extra final hours to our trip. I can't recommend this van and host highly enough.

Fun ride, it is what I expected for the adventure. Was a little high prices looking back, for the time that I used the vehicle. But would totally do it again. Some suggestions to offer.. it was very WELL equipped, but as I was using to camp with fire, it could use some sort of chopping wood equipment i.e. small axe? Also a can-opener would have been useful. Thank you for the great experience!!

The rental was wonderful. Santiago made excellent recommendations and offered drop off and pickup. My advice if you're going to take this rental out on Oahu is to stick to the recommended camping locations, or heavily research the spot if you want to camp elsewhere. We tried camping in state parks with mixed success. The parks aren't super well maintained and in some cases the restrooms are closed at night and there are lots of random people accessing the parks at night. We stayed one night at Malaekahana beach and it was much better with a well maintained campground, security and a private campsite. It was also less expensive than the state parks. The camper was extremely nice and Santiago keeps it well-stocked with all of the essentials. It makes for a great home-away-from-home.

This camper was an excellent rental! Everything I hoped it would be. It was clean and well maintained when I picked it up, and Santiago went over all the ins and outs of operating it. It's fun to drive, and I got lots of compliments and shakas. Very well stocked for camping, I had all the gear I needed. I was able to get a couple of longboards in the van no problem. Santiago was very easy to work with, I had a small key mis-hap in Waikiki and he drove in to solve the problem. I was also able to arrange a ride to the airport with him after returning the camper. I'd certainly recommend renting this camper if you're exploring Oahu and want to cruise in style.

Amazing experience and Santiago was incredibly responsive. The van had everything we needed and more! Supplies were in excellent shape too-mugs, utensils, cooler, etc. Having a yeti cooler was top notch too!

We had a great time in the VW Van and would definitely recommend renting and trying camping near the beach. The van didn’t give us any problems but be prepared for camping in a 30+ yr old vehicle. It has it’s quirks but that is part of the charm. Santiago was a great host and easy to get a hold of if we needed him. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending O’hana Campers!

The camper van was absolutely perfect for us, a baby and a preschooler. Taking car seats in and out every day in order to lay the bed down is a little bit of a hassle but no more so than any other part of parenting 🤣. Our kids absolutely loved it and the preschooler was excited to sleep up top. It’s an old heavy car so there are quirks. You’re not going to win any races going uphill but whatever. There’s no rush. Santiago and Bonnie were delightful to work with and we will definitely rent from Ohana again when we are in Hawaii!

The van was perfect for 2 people and a couple of nights on Oahu. Make sure to reserve campgrounds well in advance, as they fill up quickly!

Absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations. I live in the area and will 100% be renting again for something fun to do for future visitors. 10/10 would recommend.

A humble little gem! This was one of the favorite parts of our 2 week vacation! Waking up to look out one window to see the mountains, and the other - the ocean! Very helpful owners! Thanks again guys!
