Wayfinders: Waves, Winds, and Stars

Across the ocean, where the sky meets the sea, most people only saw the horizon. But, the wayfinder could see and feel far more.

This fulldome and live-action program puts you on the deck of the voyaging canoe Hokule'a as you explore traditional Polynesian navigation. Learn how to read the stars and interpret the winds and waves to navigate without modern instruments. The film tells the story of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and the recovery of the nearly lost art and science of traditional, non-instrument navigation in Hawaii.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before show time, because late arrivals may not be seated for safety reasons in our darkened planetarium.

If you are not already familiar with the location of the planetarium, please be sure to understand our location using the map here on Eventbrite or here: Planetarium location in Google Maps

For our public programs, you will be able to park in the I-37 parking lot off or Iroquois Drive.
