Bringing Home Lessons of the Worldwide Voyage

‘Imiloa is very excited to welcome back Chad Kālepa Baybayan, newly returned to Hawai’i after three years as Captain and senior crew member on the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage (2014-2017).

Don’t miss an opportunity to hear a firsthand report on the epic journey of the iconic double-hulled sailing canoe, Hōkūle’a, which traveled 42,000 nautical miles over 3 years, visiting 150 ports in over 20 countries, while training a new generation of navigators, educators, scientists and community stewards. Kālepa will discuss the lessons learned through the Worldwide Voyage and its mission to grow a global movement to “mālama honua,” or care for our place on island earth and its people.
