Honoring Ancient Ways: Six New Pwo Navigators Join the Tradition

The sacred echoes of the Pwo ceremony carry a profound weight. On July 30, 2026, in Niu Valley on Oʻahu, the Polynesian Voyaging Society welcomed six Hawaiʻi captains and navigators into the revered ranks of Pwo Navigators. This title, among the highest honors within the Weriyaeng School of Navigation, is a deep commitment to ancestral knowledge. The induction, led by master navigators from Satawal, Micronesia, connects our islands to a vast Pacific heritage. It is a vibrant, living tradition, and we are inspired by their dedication.

Discover Kīlauea: A Charming Escape on Kauaʻi’s North Shore

Kīlauea is the kind of town that sneaks up on you. Just past the postcard perfection of Hanalei and Princeville, it hums with its own rhythm, a mix of juice bars, cozy cafés, and boutiques that feel genuinely local rather than staged for tourists. We love a place that doesn't try too hard, and Kīlauea delivers that easy energy alongside a historic site or two worth your time. It's an easy few hours of wandering, tasting, and soaking in the coastal vibe. For travelers chasing that authentic, elevated island lifestyle, this is where you linger. And if you're planning a bigger North Shore adventure, our guide to the scenic Haena to Hanalei run pairs perfectly with a day spent here.
