The Imiloa Astronomy Center features stunning shows in its planetarium and memorable exhibits that explain (in English and Hawaiian) the importance of the stars to the early
Polynesian voyagers who first discovered these islands.
The Big Island is believed to be the first island that
Polynesian voyagers from the Marquesas Islands visited around 1500 years ago at Ka Lae.
This timeless craft was first introduced by
the Polynesian voyagers and given its own special day years ago in 1928.
Polynesian voyagers used just the stars, wind & their paddles to travel thousands of miles to what we now know as Hawaii.
Since the dawn of Earth's civilizations,
Polynesian voyagers have navigated the vast Pacific.
