Mahina Hawaiian Moon Calendar

The Hawaiians were spectacular navigators, perhaps among the best in the world. Not only did they have a deep understanding of the ocean and current, but also of the stars and the movement of the moon. That being the case, it should come as no surprise that the moon plays a very important role in the lives of the Hawaiians. Each lunar phase had a specific name in Hawaiian, and were associated with kapus as well as times for planting, fishing and gathering.

Mahina gives you daily updates on the current moon phase and what planting and fishing advice is most advisable by Hawaiian traditions.
