The Hokulea was designed and built as an archaeological experiment to test the theory of "intentional exploration and colonization of Polynesia as opposed to the theory of accidental settlement." It is a 60-foot replica of an early Polynesian voyaging canoe. First launched in the spring of 1975, the Hokulea has made multiple voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti navigated without the use of instruments of any kind. The Polynesian Voyaging Society is the no-for-profit corporation that built and operates the Hokulea and the Hawaii Loa, a larger double-hulled sailing vessel scheduled for its maiden voyage in 1995.
“霍库勒阿”号的设计与建造是一项考古实验，旨在验证“波利尼西亚是有意探索和殖民，而非偶然定居”这一理论。它是一艘早期波利尼西亚航海独木舟的60英尺复制品。1975年春首次下水，“霍库勒阿”号在不使用任何仪器的情况下，多次往返于夏威夷和塔希提岛之间。波利尼西亚航海协会是一家非营利性公司，建造并运营“霍库勒阿”号以及“夏威夷·罗阿”号，后者是一艘更大的双体帆船，计划于1995年首航。
