Through immersive projection, visitors are given the impression that the model of H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a is sailing on moving seas.

A model of the sailing canoe Hawaiiloa, which was expertly restored by artist Ka\u2018ili Chun, is at the centre on loan from Friends of H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a and Hawaiiloa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe A\u02bbo Cultural Center exhibits show the genius of Polynesian wayfinding for visitors to the Outrigger,\u201d said the society\u2019s CEO and world navigator Nainoa Thompson. \u201cIt is part of Outrigger\u2019s support of the Polynesian Voyaging Society and our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1975 Hawaii\u2019s first voyaging canoe in 600 years, H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba, launched into the waters off O\u02bbahu island, realising a dream long-held by the society\u2019s co-founder Herb Kawainui K\u0101ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, the rebirth of the Herb K\u0101ne Lounge and A\u02bbo Cultural Center at Outrigger Reef is a fitting tribute to Hawaii\u2019s rich voyaging past and its bright future,\u201d said Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cultural centre will also serve as the hub for guests to engage in a spectrum of Hawaiian cultural activities. Led by Outrigger\u2019s veteran cultural director Luana Maitland (pictured above), hotel guests will be able to glean from her vast knowledge of the arts of Hawaii and participate in hula lessons, try their hand at Hawaii\u2019s official instrument, the ukulele and make a lei or kukui nut kupe\u2018e bracelet, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resort has also resumed its quarterly O Ke Kai \u2013 \u201cOf the Sea\u201d \u2013 series with the Friends of H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba and Hawaiiloa. These gatherings will be a unique opportunity for guests to meet navigators and canoe builders, hear storytelling and enjoy hands-on demonstrations of traditional tools and artefacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Artist-Kamea-Hadar-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203738 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><figcaption><em>Through the Past is the Future \u2013 a Mural by Kamea Hadar.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> Adjacent to the cultural centre is an original mural by Hawaii artist Kamea Hadar (pictured right). Known for his large-scale portraiture, Hadar\u2019s piece I Ka Wa Ma Mua, Ka Wa Ma Hope (Through the Past is the Future), depicts a traditional wa\u2018a, or sailing canoe, being crewed by children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next generation depicted are children of influential Hawaiian figures of the last century, including Hana Kakinami, great-granddaughter of Native Hawaiian writer, poet and cultural historian John Dominis Holt IV; La\u2018iku Blankenfeld, the grandson of PVS navigator Bruce Blankenfeld; Steel Scott, the great-grandson of Elmer Scott, who founded Scott Hawaii in 1932; and Kawena Kamakawiwo\u2018ole, the grand-niece of the great musician and songwriter Israel Kamakawiwo\u2018ole. Hadar\u2019s own daughter, Nova Hadar, is also pictured at the steering paddle of the wa\u2018a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe as parents and elders do not yet know where our keiki [children] will arrive or even the nature of the canoe they will be sailing, but we do know that like in a wa\u2018a the next generation is all in this together,\u201d said Hadar. \u201cThis mural illustrates this traditional, yet forward-looking perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203672 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption><em>Herb K\u0101ne Lounge &amp; Eia Hawai\u02bbi, He Moku, He K\u0101naka \u2013 a Sculpture by Marques Hanalei Marzan.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The legacy of the late artist, historian and founding member of PVS, Herb Kawainui K\u0101ne, has been featured throughout the resort for decades and has now taken on new life in the renovated Herb K\u0101ne Lounge, featuring earth-tone textures and an updated, modern design. The lounge includes four original paintings from K\u0101ne and faces an expansive mural of a traditional sailing canoe that runs the length of the check-in desk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique work by fibre artist Marques Hanalei Marzan is also featured in the lounge. The sprawling piece called Eia Hawai\u02bbi, He Moku, He K\u0101naka (Here in Hawaii, an island, a people), is an intricate woven sculpture of the Hawaiian Islands that stretches across the lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It speaks to the interconnectivity of communities across Hawaii. It also recognises the ancestral ties and enduring relationships to Oceania. The work is inspired by Marshall Islands navigational stick charts which were used to teach oceanic seafaring practices and the knot-making skills of Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203671 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>True to the Outrigger name, the hotel\u2019s connection to the ocean and care for the marine environment is incorporated in many layers. Upon arrival, visitors walk through the iconic canoe hale entrance. There, guests encounter Kalele: a 100-year-old outrigger canoe restored by the Friends of H\u014dk\u016ble\u02bba &amp; Hawaiiloa. A stone pathway carved with Hawaiian phrases will then lead guests alongside a bubbling waterway \u2013 symbolic of the life-giving streams and springs that Waikiki was named after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In keeping with Outrigger\u2019s commitment to ocean and reef conservation, the hotel also partnered with marine scientist and artist Ethan Estess. His sustainable sculpture Coming Home, which stands prominently at the resort\u2019s entrance, is a partnership with Hawaii Pacific University\u2019s Center for Marine Debris Research. Estess collected mounds of discarded fishing nets that were repurposed into this colourful mural of Diamond Head, which is to inspire individuals to be more sustainable and consume less single-use plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an embodiment of Outrigger\u2019s commitment to conservation efforts through Outrigger\u2019s ZONE (OZONE), US$3,000 was donated to The Center for Marine Debris Research, after the mural was unveiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outrigger also worked with the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum to curate art pieces in the guest rooms and throughout the resort that honour Hawaii\u2019s past and lend a residential feel to the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first phase of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort\u2019s USD80 million transformation was completed in April 2021. It included renovated guestrooms and the reimagined Kani Ka Pila Grille restaurant. The second phase of the property, including the Diamond Head Tower, Waiola Wellness Wing and Coral Kids Club is slated to be complete by autumn 2022. The anchor restaurant, Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman, is expected to open by the end of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Malama Hawaii Ecotourism Option<\/strong><br> To take the Hawaiian experience outdoors, Outrigger has added an ecotourism option for guests visiting Hawaii by participating in the \u201cMalama Hawaii\u201d campaign, an initiative of the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) and Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ttrweekly.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-203670 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption><em>Malama in the Hawaiian language means &#8220;to take care&#8221;.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>By booking Outrigger\u2019s \u201cMalama Hawaii Experience,\u201d guests can participate in a hands-on, two-hour voluntourism activity at Kualoa Ranch Private Nature Reserve a 45-minute drive from Waikiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the trip, guests immerse themselves in community service and cultural learning, including the importance of caring for the upland \u02bbahupua\u02bba streams as they feed the lo\u02bbi down the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guests who book the Malama Hawaii Experience receive every third night free when staying at Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.outrigger.com\/hotels-resorts\/hawaii\/oahu\/outrigger-waikiki-beach-resort\" target=\"_blank\">Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outrigger.com\/hotels-resorts\/hawaii\/oahu\/waikiki-beachcomber-by-outrigger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger  (opens in a new tab)\">Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger <\/a>or Waikiki Malia by Outrigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Your Stories: Outrigger)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONOLULU, 12 April 2022: Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort has unveiled its new A\u2019o Cultural Center and a renewed commitment to Hawaiian heritage all part of a USD80 million transformation, which is nearly complete.
