“Navigating along Kealaikahiki” with Haunani Kane

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to navigate on our voyaging canoes? Join us as we voyage along Kealaikahiki, the path to and from Tahiti. We will learn the heavens, and study the ocean as we search for island homes from the deep sea.

Haunani Kane is a scientist, surfer, and voyager from Kailua, Oʻahu. Haunani has been mentored since her youth in traditional Hawaiian wayfinding and navigation by the Polynesian Voyaging Society, and many of voyaging heroes. Haunani has spent nearly 200 days at sea aboard both sailing and modern research vessels. As a voyager and climate scientist, Haunani’s research looks at the resilience of islands and their people to climate change.
