Hōkūleʻa is turning 50! We are so proud to announce preparations to celebrate Hōkūleʻa’s 50th birthday in 2025, a milestone that marks a half-century of cultural revival, environmental advocacy, and a renewed connection to the earth and ocean. “Hōkūleʻa is more than a canoe,” said PVS CEO and Navigator Nainoa Thompson. “She represents a dream to revive one of humanity’s greatest achievements—the wayfinding and exploration that united the Pacific peoples. As we celebrate 50 years of Hōkūleʻa, we thank those who cared for her, honor the leadership that has guided us, and invite Hawaiʻi and the world to look forward to the next 50 years of voyaging for a better future.” PVS will highlight Hōkūleʻa’s significant impact over the last 50 years through storytelling and events, with the centerpiece being Hōkūleʻa’s 50th Birthday Commemoration at the 16th Annual Kualoa/Hakipuʻu Canoe Festival at Kualoa Regional Park planned in partnership with City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Parks and Recreation on March 8, 2025, exactly half a century since Hōkūleʻa first touched the ocean. Additional festivities, designed to honor the past, reflect on the present, and launch a vision for the future, will be announced in the coming months. We hope you’ll join us! “The birthday is such an important moment for us to dream again and believe again and have courage to let go of the lines” - Nainoa Thompson
