The crew of Polynesian Voyaging Society<\/a> H\u014dk\u016bleʻa<\/span> has reached the climax of the Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage’s<\/a> most ambitious leg—the final stop on the South African leg of her historic journey. South Africa marks the halfway point of the Worldwide Voyage and the furthest point from Hawaiʻi<\/span> for H\u014dk\u016bleʻa<\/span> and her crew. H\u014dk\u016bleʻa<\/span> arrived into Cape Town on Thursday, November 12. <\/p>\n

Three members of the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> ʻohana<\/span> are participating in the South Africa leg of the World Wide Voyage.

The H\u014dk\u016bleʻa<\/span> and her crew are expected to spend one week in Cape Town. They will be joined by a 60 person delegation of Hawaiʻi<\/span> educators, students and families. Together, they will support the Mālama Honua mission of the voyage by engaging with the local community through various activities to be held throughout the week including a ceremony of friendship, a service project at Table Mountain National Park, a cultural exchange and a surf session with The Surfer Kids, canoe tours, school visits and more. <\/p>\n
