Maxing out Polynesian potential

I wanted to build a custom map that played to Polynesia's strengths. I knew I wanted to build Moais, so I drew out a map that had as much coastal opportunity as possible. The catch with that though, is that I can't build other improvements. To work around that, I made all land tiles desert hills with sheep.
I then rushed for Petra to get that +2 Food, +3 Hammer setup. I also setup a copper under Honolulu and a salt next to it for immediate happiness.
I found pantheon help in ruins and was able to build Stonehenge with all those hammers. Picked up desert folklore and a couple of buffs like tithe. Probably didn't pick these very well, so could definitely use input to make it even more efficient.
I then chased down Moais, and then beelined for Hotels. Once I got hotels, game was over in 2 turns, because the culture to tourism conversion was too strong.
The game ended too soon, so I didn't even get to Flight and that gold bonus. I'll have to drag it out a little next time.
