Which season premiere of Full House was filmed on location in Hawaii?

“Tanner's Island” was the Full House season premiere filmed on location in Hawaii. It opens season three with the Tanner family taking a vacation, while Danny's carefully planned group itinerary creates tension among the travelers.

The episode stands out because Full House normally used studio sets in Southern California despite being set in San Francisco. Hawaii gave the production beaches, tropical scenery, and local cultural elements that could not be recreated convincingly on the regular soundstage.

The story also features menehunes, legendary small people from Hawaiian folklore. That fantasy element helps distinguish the episode from an ordinary family vacation plot and is one reason viewers often remember it as a special location adventure.

It is sometimes mixed up with “Comet's Excellent Adventure,” the only episode actually taped in San Francisco, or with “The House Meets the Mouse,” the sixth-season finale filmed at Walt Disney World. Those are separate location productions.
