Live Tracking Map – Worldwide Voyage

Track Hōkūle‘a and Hikianalia as they voyage around the world. The green line is the reference course designed by the navigators for reaching the destination from the departure point, given the capabilities of the vessel and the winds, currents, and weather conditions anticipated along the way. The yellow line tracks the progress of Hokulea while the red line follows Hikianalia. For more information on the PVS voyaging fleet, click here.
