Follow the canoes, and they'll advance you on an arresting boating to Hawaii's absolute life Moana story. The best abode to bang out: Disney's actual own Hawaiian resort.

Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, is on Oahu's leeward bank at Ko Olina, about an hour's drive west from Honolulu. The 840-unit acreage on 21 beach acreage is absorbed with star-voyaging lore. Disney imagineer Joe Rohde, himself aloft in Hawaii, advised its Maka'ala antechamber with aerial alveolate ceilings to answer a acceptable Hawaiian canoe house. On the architecture exterior, one of three behemothic bas abatement sculptures by Harinani Orme depicts an outrigger canoe on the ocean with angelic bodies above.

Had this acreage not been completed bristles years before Moana's release, you'd accept the cine was its inspiration. But in the Maka'ala antechamber you'll acquisition Aulani's absolute muse, eight anxiety tall, balk and draped in august lei.

This award-winning display is a one-sixth calibration archetypal of a voyaging canoe, and a adventure applique introduces you to the real, 62-foot, twin-hulled barge it represents. Hokulea is her name, accepted able-bodied in these islands – and beyond.

Back in the 1970s, Hawaii's voyaging bequest was about extinct. Sceptics were claiming that rather than agilely advertent the islands, the age-old brilliant campaign had artlessly drifted off advance and happened aloft them by chance. Proving contrarily seemed absurd – the aftermost voyaging canoe had vanished about 600 years before, and so too had the old abyssal skills.

The abandoned way was a continued shot. A accumulation of Hawaiian anthropologists, artists and sailors congenital a 62-foot Polynesian voyaging canoe – a absolutely activity replica of those of old – and in 1976 they set captain after archive or instruments on a 5000-mile annular cruise amid Oahu and Tahiti. Aloft Hokulea's accompanying hulls adequate the abundant accountability of proving Hawaii's absolute agent story.

She did it in three months, and her accomplishment aggressive a cultural renaissance: a Hawaiian accent awakening in schools, and a face-lifting of dance, carol and aesthetic traditions that still thrive, forth with the art of brilliant voyaging, today.

Since then, Hokulea has sailed by the stars (not alike an iPhone is accustomed as aid on board) over 140,000 abyssal miles, teaching the ethics of sustainability forth the way. She is currently on the final leg of a five-year common campaign accoutrement 47,000 abyssal miles, 85 ports, and 26 countries, overextension her bulletin of affliction for "island Earth". Back she allotment to Hawaii in June 2017, a hero's acceptable awaits for the admired barge accepted as "mother ship".

Joe Rohde and his imagineers spent time aboard Hokulea as afflatus for Aulani's architecture and, as a mark of respect, the Hokulea archetypal was installed aftermost year for Aulani's fifth anniversary, accompanied by a $US5000 addition to The Friends of Hokulea.

At the time, Rohde said: "We capital to bless the abundant canoe attitude of Hawaii, because these canoes are at the actual affection of what makes Hawaiian ability Hawaiian. After these canoes there would be no Hawaiians at all. They accurate the accomplished anatomy of artistry, engineering, allegorical meaning, backbone and amusing co-operation that Hawaiian ability stands for. In particular, we capital to bless the Hokulea, the canoe that alive the Hawaiian cultural awakening in the 1970s and continues today."

Talk to them, and you'll accept their abysmal adapter to Hokulea. As Nainoa Thompson, Hawaiian voyaging ancient and PVS admiral says: "The canoe makes us able in apperception and spirit – abutting to our culture."

This is Moana's story, too, and it's why the cine has been affairs out cinemas beyond the islands back its release. Perhaps it was accounting in the stars, because this renewed affirmation of Hawaiian voyaging ancestry coincides with Hokulea's accession from her best ballsy boating yet.
