It builds and sails replicas of traditional double-hulled voyaging canoes, undertaking voyages throughout Polynesia using traditional navigation techniques. The society was established in 1992, and formally incorporated in 1993. It was initially led by former Cook Islands prime Minister Tom Davis.

Since 2018, the society has collaborated with NGO to run a school holiday program on traditional voyaging and vaka knowledge. In December 2019 the society was featured in an exhibit at the Cook Islands National Museum on the revival of voyaging in the Cook Islands. In 2022 the society celebrated its 30th anniversary. In September 2022 the society partnered with woodcarver Mike Tavioni for the Te Mana O te Vaka boat building and sailing project, to construct six double-hulled vaka using traditional methods.
