Aloha from Kihei Rent A Car! As you enjoy the beauty of Maui, we invite you to connect with an inspiring moment in Hawaiian culture. The legendary voyaging canoes Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia are preparing to embark on the next leg of the Moananuiākea Voyage—an epic journey across the Pacific dedicated to education, environmental awareness, and indigenous knowledge.

While the official departure is from Hilo on May 30, 2025, the impact of this voyage resonates deeply here on Maui. Many of the crew members hail from our island, and the mission carries the spirit of aloha and kuleana (responsibility) we all share.

This voyage spans 43,000 nautical miles, covering 36 countries and over 345 ports, with nearly 400 crew members promoting cultural exchange and sustainability. As Maui residents and visitors, we can support this journey by following along online, sharing their story, and learning more about traditional Hawaiian navigation.

Visit www.hokulea.com or follow @hokuleacrew for updates, videos, and ways to stay involved. It’s a great opportunity to teach keiki about Hawaiian values or simply be inspired by the legacy of these remarkable vessels.

At Kihei Rent A Car, we’re proud to celebrate and support this voyage. Whether you’re exploring Maui’s coastline or following the journey from afar, let’s honor this cultural treasure that begins right here in our own backyard.

Mahalo and safe travels—on land and sea!
