Description

Enter Kilauea and other legendary volcanoes. Hear the story of Hawaii's great warrior-king, Kamehameha. Share in the fun of Waikiki Beach and Lahaina, then catch an aerial view of the vast canyon lands of Kauai. Learn about Hawaiian customs and folklore, while Sea Life Park stages some amazing shows with porpoises, whales, and other crowd pleasers. Surfing, snorkeling, cliff diving—Hawaii has it all! Extra Features:

  • Early Inhabitants- Polynesians, an ancient sea-faring people, cruised the Pacific Ocean in their durable boats and eventually found Hawaii. Other adventurous people found the islands long before the Europeans landed.
  • Voyages of Captain Cook- Accompany one of Europe's greatest explorers--Captain James Cook--as he journeys to the Hawaiian Islands in 1778 and 1779. Initially welcomed to the island as a "god," Cook was later killed in a violent encounter between his men and the Hawaiians.
  • The 20th Century- In 1898, the Hawaiian Islands became a U.S. territory and their character was forever changed. Native culture declined while foreign influence prevailed. Finally in 1959, Hawaii became our fiftieth state.
