As Hōkūleʻa voyages along the South African coastline, we are reminded of the journey of one of our heroes - Eddie Aikau.

Voyaging halfway around the world, Hōkūleʻa celebrates ancestral connections and renewed friendship between Hawaiʻi and South Africa.

Hōkūleʻa stopped in False Bay to explore its chilly waters and learn about the amazing work being done there to protect our oceans.

Early mariners thought that False Bay was a good sheltered area to anchor... but it isn't, because the place has very strong winds–sometimes up to 100km per hour.

The crew visited iSimangaliso Wetland Park to see the natural wonders South Africa and its people had to offer.

Master navigator Kālepa Baybayan reflects on the crewʻs time at the Pinnacle Point caves, the cradle of all humans.
