Actually we had a nightmare with our car rental but its a long story… I think in the end we went with Budget? No one said we had any restrictions though. You definitely need 4WD for that route! Good luck!

Thank you for your wonderful blog posts, it remembers me my world tour few years ago (already, time flies).

I’m thinking to rent a 4WD car for Mauna Kea, not everywhere is clear.
Your car looks good. Where did you rent it ?
It seems only Harper’s allows to drive to the top.

Thanks Emily! I would go on to see the most beautiful sunset of my life in Maui, so it certainly made up for any disappointment around this!

That said, otherworldly is the perfect word for this landscape, and the slice of sunset you did catch is beautiful.

So true Gaelyn, the whole thing didn’t come together for me until I was actually there… and I’ll be totally prepared now for next time!
