Polynesian Voyaging Society crew will hold a sunset sail on Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia in honor of Māori navigator and waka builder Sir Hekenukumai Hector Busby

A gathering of leaders from throughout the Pacific discuss the legacy and future of voyaging traditions at the Mālama Honua Summit.

After being on land for almost a year, Te Aurere is touched by the healing hands of the Worldwide Voyage crew whose mission of Mālama Honua lead them straight to her. A project that would allow them to honor the kauri trees and their ʻohana waʻa of Aotearoa.

Master navigator Hector Busby created a life size star compass as a gift to future navigators and sailors in Aotearoa and throughout the Pacific – all for the continuation of voyaging.

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.

Nearly 30 years after her first arrival, Hōkūleʻa returns to Waitangi, Aotearoa as the sixth tribe of Tai Tokerau.
