A pleasantly derivative overview of various Hawaiian highlights by a fifth grader.

1. The activities of Hawaii
By Lily Neff
In this presentation I will be giving an overview of each
island

2. The map

3. Kauai, Waimea Canyon
This is Waimea Canyon, which
Mark Twain called, "the Grand
Canyon of the Pacific." Over 10
miles long, and almost 4,000
feet deep, this marvel was
formed by erosion and the
catastrophic collapse of the
volcano that created Kauai.
See Hanapepe
Lookout, exciting Spouting
Horn and the south coast
Poipu Resorts made famous in
the Elvis Presley movie, Blue
Hawaii.

4. Niihau, the Carnival cruise ship
• The most famous attraction on
Niihau is the carnival cruise
ship.
• At 1,004 feet long and with a
tonnage of 130,000, Carnival
Cruise Lines' Carnival Dream is
one of the larger cruise ships
currently in operation today.
Additionally, the Carnival
Dream has 13 decks that are
accessible to passengers. The
Carnival Dream has a
maximum cruising speed of 22
knots, which is about average
for a vessel of its kind.

5. Oahu, Pearl Harbor
Take an in-depth journey to
Pearl understanding of Pearl
Harbor itself and the USS
Arizona Memorial with an
informative introductory audio
tour. Visit the Road to War and
Attack exhibit galleries, and
watch film footage of the
infamous December 7, 1941
attack. While on Ford
Island, you can also see the
USS Oklahoma Memorial, take
a guided tour of the Battleship
Missouri Memorial, and enjoy
an audio tour of the Pacific
Aviation Museum Pearl
Harbor.

6. Molokai, old town Kaunakakai
In the central town of
Kaunakakai, an absence of traffic
lights take you back to a simpler
time, virtually unchanged since
the early 1900s. This charming
paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) town
is also the island’s main
harbor, where some locals still
fish for their dinner. Stroll down
to Kaunakakai Harbor to the end
of the state's longest
pier, extending well past the reef
- just you, the local fisherman and
the sound of local boats slowly
jetting out of the harbor.

7. Lanai, puu pehe (Sweetheart Rock)
Legend tells of two lovers, a
Hawaiian maiden named
Pehe from Lahaina and a
young warrior from Lanai
named Makakehau. He was
so taken with her beauty
that whenever he laid eyes
upon her they would mist
up in tears. Hence his name:
Maka (eyes) Kehau (mist).
He took her back to Lanai
and hid her in a sea cave at
the base of Maneles cliff.

8. Maui, whale watching
Maui is your gateway to some of
the best whale watching in the
world. The waters off of West Maui
and South Maui are shielded by the
West Maui Mountains and
Haleakala, creating calm and clear
waters for high visibility. Humpback
whales are also drawn to the area’s
shallow waters, less than 600 feet
deep, making Maui an ideal spot to
start your voyage during the winter
whale watching season from
December to May.

9. Kahoolawe, no society
The Hawaiian island of
Kahoolawe is located
between the islands of Maui
and Lanai and it is
approximately 45 square
miles in size. It has been
known as the "forgotten
isle", "desolate isle", and the
"target isle". Kahoolawe has
been used at different times
as a penal colony, a ranch, a
forest reserve, and a military
training and testing ground.

10. Hawaii, volcanoes
This United States National
Park was established in 1916
and features within its
boundaries include the Kilauea
Volcano Caldera, the Thurston
Lava Tube, Hawaiian Volcano
Observatory, the historic
Volcano House Hotel, the
Jagger Museum, and many
trails and wilderness areas. The
Kilauea Volcano is one of the
most active volcanoes in the
world, and within the park it is
sometimes possible to view
active lava flows up close.
