welcome home, hokulea!

If you're planning to be in Hawai'i this month, something special is happening, and you're not going to want to miss it. Hawai'i will welcome home the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokulea and completion of its around-the-world voyage, Malama Honua.   

Between June 17-20, Hawaii residents and visitors will be able to share the spirit of aloha with the Polynesian Voyaging Society, Master Navigator Nainoa Thompson and Hokulea’s crew. This stunning voyage around the world in a Polynesian canoe shared the cultural heritage of Hawai'i with the rest of the world, and now, after completing this epic journey, they're back home!
