I'm was looking at a world map and noticed Hawaii is very much in the middle of the ocean. How did anyone get there without some very good ships. The origanl people from Hawaii have been there for over 14 centuries, but it was only 5 centuries ago the Spaniards made ships that could cross and ocean. How did those people get there?

Polynesians first settled Hawaii over a thousand years ago, but I can't remember exactly when. They know this because there is a thing called the Polynesian Triangle in the Pacific Ocean and everyone within that triangular area speaks Polynesian!
I guess they took their canoes or something to get to Hawaii from Polynesia. Must have been good sailors, huh?

well you are close anyway. Polynesian peoples populated all of the Pacific island chains on their way to better places. The original Hawaiians were also canibals. The Portuguese landed on the Hawaiian islands long before the Spanish. After the Spanish there was Captain Cook and his merry men who brought diseases that killed off most of the population. But you have to remember that the English thought taking baths were bad, so they not only smelled horrendous, but they carried whatever diseases they had become immune to on their clothes and bodies.

Steffi, ******** and Maggie are right. They came from Tahiti.
Naysayers who said it couldn't be done in outrigger canoes were proven wrong by the Hokule'a in 1976 using no maps or navigational equipment of any kind! Truly awesome.

The theory is that they migrated from New Zealand and island hopped eastward on large canoes and catamarans. Tahiti is thought to be their last stop before moving north discovering the now Hawaiian Islands.

They got their by boat, most likely outrigger type canoes. And they did without GPS or even sextants.
