Megan and Will - Owners/Admin

Megan and Will started their journey with At the Crater’s Edge as guests and it stuck with them as one of the highlights of their travels. When they learned the prior owners were retiring, they jumped at the opportunity to carry  on the spirit of this special place. Hawai’i born and raised, Will is always looking for new ways to embed the local culture (and snacks!) into your visit.
