San Francisco, CA — Legendary voyaging canoe Hokulea arrived at San Francisco’s Aquatic Park Cove Sunday with a special ceremony.
The canoe’s arrival marks a significant milestone — it’s the first time in 28 years that Hokulea has visited the Bay Area.
This is one of the mainland stops on the canoe’s four-year circumnavigation of the Pacific called the Moananuiākea Voyage.
The double-hulled canoe and its crew were escorted by the Coast Guard and greeted by a flotilla of outrigger paddling canoes, a San Francisco fire boat, and various other water vessels.
