About the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage<\/h2>\n

The Polynesian Voyaging Society’s Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage<\/a> is an ongoing, 47,000-mile voyage in which two polynesian voyaging canoes, the H\u014dk\u016bleʻa<\/span> and the Hikianalia, are sailing around the world in an effort to promote a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n

Kane is part of a new generation of navigators that are helping to preserve the ancient Hawaiian art of navigation through hands-on experience and outreach in communities across the globe.<\/p>\n

As of 2015 the H\u014dk\u016bleʻa<\/span> and Hikianalia have made port in French Polynesia, Sāmoa, the Cook Islands, Tonga, Aotearoa and Australia. The voyage began in 2013 and is expected to continue through 2017.<\/p>\n
