Pacific Voyaging Society

Pacific Voyaging Society is an organization dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional Polynesian navigation and voyaging techniques. It promotes cultural heritage by training people in the art of navigating oceanic voyages using only natural signs like stars, waves, and winds, without modern instruments. The society aims to foster environmental stewardship, cross-cultural understanding, and a connection to Pacific Island communities. Through educational programs, community projects, and the operation of traditional double-hulled canoes, it keeps ancient maritime skills alive, inspiring sustainable practices and appreciation for Pacific Islanders’ rich seafaring traditions.
