Sammy, originally from Indiana and California, and Tabol, born and raised on O‘ahu, are the heart and soul behind Māla o Kīlauea. Together, they bring a unique blend of mainland warmth and island aloha to every guest experience.

Both are passionate about hosting and love sharing their creative gifts — from music and art to stories of the land and local culture. They thrive on creating memorable moments, whether it’s guiding guests to hidden gems, curating peaceful spaces for reflection, or simply sharing a conversation under the stars.

Their goal is simple: to make every guest feel welcome, inspired, and connected — both to the island and to themselves.
