Who We Are

Mālama Connections was created for folks who still enjoy getting out and doing life — just with a little extra company. Whether it’s a grocery run, a checkup, or coffee and conversation, we show up as a friend — not just a ride.

Rooted in aloha, we believe everyday moments matter. That’s why we offer real connection, one outing at a time — with kindness, laughter, and someone you can count on.

We’re not caregivers. We’re not chauffeurs.

We’re just good company for those who deserve it.

Founded by Tara Valencia in Maui, Mālama Connections is built on one simple belief: everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and surrounded by friendship.

What started as a way to help folks who needed a little extra connection has grown into something more — a service rooted in kindness, trust, and everyday moments that matter. Whether it’s a ride to the store, a walk through the park, or just someone to share coffee and conversation, Mālama Connections is here to make life feel lighter and more connected.

We offer personal ride services and friendly outings for independent adults — from errands and appointments to slow walks, scenic drives, or a shared cup of coffee. It’s more than transportation — it’s connection, with aloha.

Whether it’s the farmer’s market, a family lunch, or just time to cruise and talk story, we’re here to make everyday moments easier, brighter, and full of care. At Mālama, the ride is just the beginning.
