While both Jeeps are a great choice for seeing Kauai, which one you choose depends upon your needs.
The primary differences between the 2 door and 4 door Wranglers is the amount of cargo space and access to the rear passenger seats.
Access to the rear seats for passengers and bags is also greatly improved on the 4 door Wrangler Unlimited since the extra set of doors means passengers don’t have to climb over the front seats to get in and out.

The 2 door Wrangler is fairly short in length, so it’s limited in the amount of luggage it can carry.
The rear seat in the 2 door can be folded down to create a decent amount of cargo space, but doing so means only two people can ride in the smaller Jeep.

Even though the 4 door Wrangler Unlimited can handle more passengers and luggage, it’s longer wheelbase means that it is just a bit less nimble than the 2 door Jeep. The two door will be easier to park and turn around in tight spaces, and since it weighs less, the 2 door gets just slightly better fuel mileage.
