Formatted like the genre-making House Hunters, Hawaii Life stood out from its predecessor with a commitment to representing Hawaii in a way that supported Native Hawaiians. It highlighted eco-friendly living and used island-specific segments to focus in on what made the “Hawaii lifestyle” so alluring to residents and locals alike.
