Acerca de Paige Bowlus

Aloha! I've been building and enjoying vans and campers for about 6 years. I worked as a forensic scientist for 20 years and then decided to go full time into van and vacation rentals. I have some pretty unique builds under my belt including a vintage trailer and an airplane treehouse BnB! My rentals are unique, upscale, and totally custom. We will provide as little or as much help and planning as you desire . Head off on your own and explore the island using our travel tips or let us design a fully planned vacation for you. We'll prearrange your Island destinations and camp spots with options to add a sunset plane ride, a snorkel or SCUBA adventure, or a boat trip to swim with the dolphins or manta rays. To end your adventure, finish your vacation with a luxurious stay at our Bali Beach Cottage! Big Island Tiny Kine Adventures is here to give you the vacation of your dreams!

We had the most wonderful time exploring the big island of Hawaii in Paige and Michael's van! We spent 5 days and 4 nights driving around the entire island, could have easily and happily added a few more days and spent even more time in the van. We ended up choosing to rent through Paige because she included so many great extra perks with her van rental, and that ended up being an EXCELLENT choice. We had everything we could have possibly needed in that van - cooking utensils/ shower setup/cleaning/water/snorkels/chairs, and so much more that we never had time to use but sure wish we did. Paige made the whole process and experience as easy as possible for us, from sharing campsites and recommendations to initial meeting and van pickup, and communicating with me after I accidentally forgot a few items in the van after our trip. The van was in great shape and we had no issues with it while on our trip, but the hosts were super attentive and seemed like they would have taken care of anything that came up if we had needed it. Thanks for making our trip a really special experience!

I had the BEST time driving around Hawaii in this van! It was the perfect way to camp around the island and Paige has it set up with everything you could possibly need! Beyond the basics, she also provided beach mats, chairs, snorkels a boogie board and so many other fun items to add to your time in Hawaii. She was super responsive with any questions or concerns I had and was great with providing any information needed to camp around the island. I could not have enjoyed my experience more!

Paige and Michael were absolutely fantastic hosts! Their communication and tips were spot on. Anytime we had any questions, they were right there to help move us along. One night, we took a quick trip to Oahu and unrequested they came down and dried out our tent, and some bedding because it had rained hard the night before - completely unprompted! It made it so much easier when we came back the following day, and you can imagine how thrilled we were to have everything dry and smelling nice. Traveling for us is about the experience and the people we meet, we definitely plan to stay in touch with Paige and Michael. Thank you!!!

Paige was nice and helpful to prepare our trip. Interior of the van is in really good shape.
The day of the pick up our plane was delayd so we didn't meet for a proper check in. I had to look for the van under the rain on a dark gravel lot asking couple times clear infos to locate it. The next morning I found out the gas cap was missing , lights on on the dashboard because of tire sensor and all doors not locking properly, so you can't leave any valueable in the van. I was asked to drive back to pick up a cap... I didn't, asking for delivery, I was 1h away from the pick up site, but owner was further and won't deliver the cap. Couple of days later, I noticed a tire almost flat , I went to a car shop they told me the tire was previously plugged that s why it was leaking , I asked them to mount the spare, they refused because it was from 2004 and all cracked up. On 23 and 24th of December I had to go look for all around local tireshops (with my 4 mo old) a tire that would fit. I paid $300 out of my pocket. Apparently I ruined the owner Xmas , mine was great.. The day of the drop off I asked for in person meeting, I was told 'perhaps' they would come then was given a slot 1h30 before my flight so I left the van on a lot with no proper checkout because owner is working in Ohau and can't make it. Apparently renting vans for 4k ($400/ night) is a side hustle so you can handle it lightly. Price was on the high range not the service. Disclaimer: I filled a dispute

A dispute was filed and was settled in the van owner's favor.

We had an incredible time, drove all the way around the island, Paige and Mike were super helpful in planning and preparing us for each camp spot and absolutely went above and beyond for our family of three. The van has everything you need to camp, cook, shower and adventure on the Big Island!
We were able to see so many areas of the island because of Paige and Mile. We would 100% come back and rent from them again!

Paige and Michael were the best hosts for an amazing few days in the van! They really thought of everything as it relates to amenities and were readily available for help as needed. My husband and I took our 8 month old along and found we were able to all fit with the third seat while driving and removed while sleeping. Highly recommend!
