HI REVIEW: Discoveries America, Hawaii
"Taking Viewers on a whirlwind tour of the Aloha State, Discoveries America, Hawaii explores the gorgeous sights of Hawaii. Prefaced w/ facts about the induction of the 50th state, as well as the volcanic history of the former 'Sandwich Islands,' Hawaii visits the NELHA (Natural Energy Lab of Hawaii) Gateway Project for a look at sustainable aquaculture programs, peeks in at the Kona Kampachi sushi-grade mercury-free fish farm, and drops by Jade Food for a behind-the-scenes look at Pearl Harbor (the most visited site in Hawaii), the Maui Land and Pineapple Co., and Charles Lindberg's grave in Hana. And what would a trip to Hawaii be w/out an authentic luau, not to mention sandy beaches and water activities, including a whale watch, a SNUBA (snorkeling and suba) tour, and bota sports.

Combining breathtaking footage w/ relevant graphics and maps, this off-the-beaten-island path addition to the popular travelogue series is definitely recommended."
