Maui, the demigod, enters a mysterious realm of the gods, seeking a portal to an island. He encounters Matangi, a powerful and enigmatic figure who warns him against reconnecting the people of the ocean, threatening Moana if he interferes.

Moana confronts the demigod Maui, demanding he return the heart of Te Fiti to save her island. However, the narcissistic Maui completely ignores her mission, instead performing a boastful musical number about his legendary feats to distract her and steal her boat.

Moana brings a young Simea to the Cavern of the Ancestors, a sacred place where Moana learned about her heritage as a voyager. Moana shares the history of her people and her personal journey, revealing her new mission to continue the work of an ancient navigator.

Moana experiences a vivid vision where she encounters her ancestor, Tautai Vasa, on an ancient voyaging canoe. He warns her of a desolate future for her people if she fails to reconnect them and find the lost island of Motufetū, leaving her with a cryptic clue.
