In 1980, after training for three years with Will Kyselka and Mau Piailug, Nainoa boarded Hōkūleʻa as the first Hawaiian navigator in centuries to set out for Tahiti.

Here is a little taste of what it's like to have a birthday on board a double hulled canoe.

Hōkūleʻa crossed the equator, marking an important milestone in her journey north from Tahiti back to Hawaiʻi.

Haunani along with a surprise guest (watch till the end), give us an update from Hōkūleʻa, day 8 Tahiti to Hawaiʻi.

Day 8 of the voyage home, and the crew experience a change in winds and beautiful bioluminescence.

This last, historic stretch of Hokulea's international sail plan is expected to take 3-4 weeks (pending weather). The canoes will make a celebratory return to Honolulu on Saturday, June 17 at Magic Island for a cultural welcoming ceremony followed by a grand celebration open to the entire community.
