About this tour

Behind this route

Ancient settlements and a way of life brought from the southern pacific is where our story starts, more accurately just before our first mariners guided their large seagoing canoes to the islands of Hawaii.  They navigated by the stars and the clouds and the feel of the water beneath their hulls.  They navigated by the sun and the birds and the marine life they came upon, each contributing a clue as to their location relative to land and their intended direction of travel.
