Nice find, Damon!
The title cards are in Dutch but the Youtube listing seems to suggest
it's actually an American short film.
Is it really the Big Island? Apart from the mention of the "Hilo track"
there's nothing that I can recognise, although the railroad does look
like it's going along the Hamakua Coast.
The translations of the title cards (thanks to a friend) :
De Hawaianeilanden in Vogelvlucht.
Birds-eye view of the Hawaiian Islands.
Deze eilanden behooren tot de Sandwich eilanden. Het landschap is zeer bergachtig.
These islands belong to the Sandwich Isles. The landscape is very mountainous.
Een tochtje op de Hilo baan.
A ride on the Hilo track.
De inboorlingen visschen in de brandingen met behulp van werpnetten.
The natives fish in the surf with the help of nets.
Typen uit Hawaian.
Characters from Hawaii.
Met een snelheid van 35 K.M. per uur door de branding.
With a speed of 20 mph through the surf.

ETA: Did some research, it is an American film, either
made by or for Lyman Howe. So no more German stereotypes please!
