With the art of wayfinding as the guide and the waʻa kaulua as their platform, the crews of Hōkūle’a and Hikianalia are inspiring new educational strategies in communities around the world.

Kate Souness, crewmember onboard Hōkūleʻa, reviews the education outreach in Gisborne as the waʻa voyages to Tauranga.

Hōkūleʻa continues her journey north by visiting the ports of Napier and Gisborne.

On the beach, we could see the evidence of the abundant sea life in the area through the diverse collection of shells on the sand.

We are currently moored at Whangarei Port where much excitement has been spurred by the presence of Hōkūle'a and Hikianalia.

Crewmembers visit Aurere, home of renowned master carver and navigator Hector Busby.

For myself, it has been a great pleasure meeting old friends as we sailed across the central Pacific and to introduce new crew members to the many island communities we visited.

The crewmembers of the voyaging canoes Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia are conducting educational outreach programs while in Pago Pago, American Samoa.
