A [[Tourist Trap]] episode whereby the cast packs up and vacations in Hawaii, land of [[Hula and Luaus]]. Often a thinly veiled excuse for a [[Beach Episode]], if not outright inexplicable considering how expensive traveling there can be for mainlanders. Expect to see a huge amount of native Hawaiians, even though they make up less than a quarter of the population, and a majority of Hawaiians are Asian or part-Asian. Hawaii-themed episodes seemed to reach the peak of their popularity back in the '70s and '80s, when shows like ''[[Hawaii Five-O]]'', ''[[Fantasy Island]]'', and ''[[Magnum, PIP.I.]]'' were on the air and going strong.
 
A subtrope of the [[Vacation Episode]].
