Polynesian Voyaging Society

Our Story

This story, once on the brink of extinction, embodies survival, rediscovery, and the restoration of pride among the Polynesian people. Hōkūle‘a was born from a dream to revive the spirit of exploration and ingenuity that brought the first Polynesians to Hawai‘i. Since her launch in the 1970s, Hōkūle‘a has united people from diverse backgrounds, symbolizing a shared commitment to protect cherished values and places.
