My wife and I are headed to Maui, and looking through the road to Hana and afterward sites, we think we want to stay the night in Hana, then do the rest of the trip the next day.
We are very concerned about keeping our personal belongings. We will be taking our camera with us through the days, but also if we wanted to stay the night in Hana, we’d need to have all of our luggage with us too, which would stay in the car, and not come with us to the individual sites and swimming.
What would you recommend that we do? Is there a good way to stop and see the sites and still keep our stuff safe in the rental? The main belonging of concern is our laptop!
Please advise. Thank you.
Also, if you have any tips on keeping cameras safe while swimming/snorkeling, please advise.
Thanks!

For one, lock your car.
What my parents do is place a blanket over things that are stored in the backseat so nobody can see what they are.
As for camera safety, you can get one of those waterproof cases to keep the camera from getting wet.

If you are going to be staying in a major resort hotel before or after heading out to Hana, all major resorts have a locked storage room you can check your excess luggage and receive a claim ticket for your bags, and then just take an overnighter with just what you need during your Hana drive, and pick up your other things when you get back. There is almost never a fee for doing this.
If you absolutely need your laptop on your overnighter, put it in the trunk, or like the other respondent said hidden under clothes or a blanket. I’m sure you would love pictures of swimming, but I would worry about my camera unattended so in the trunk it would go!
