The Polynesians sailed primarily for exploration, trade, and the search for new land. Their voyages were driven by a need for resources, such as food and materials, as well as a desire to establish new settlements across the vast Pacific Ocean. They navigated using advanced techniques, including celestial navigation and understanding ocean currents, enabling them to traverse thousands of miles between islands. Additionally, voyaging played a significant role in their cultural and social practices, strengthening connections between distant communities.
