Star Paths

Introduction

For generations the starry heavens have been a constant companion to oceanic wayfinders as they navigated from island to island.

As mariner explorers sailed in search of new landfalls the stars served as signpost along oceanic seaways recording the direction to new discoveries and return pathways to the distant islands they had sailed from.

With a blanket of stars above their heads, wayfinder and crew sailed with confidence and security in knowing that the stars would always lead them home.

The story of how wayfinders used these stars to mark their course along traditional seaways is told through the amazing technology of ‘Imiloa’s planetarium and exhibit hall.

Come spend some time with us and learn about the star paths that lead these seafaring explorers to the shores of these islands.
