Living Lahaina premiered on April 17, 2007, on MTV and was scheduled to run for eight episodes.[3] However, only 3 episodes were shown on MTV.[3]

Following the style of MTV's Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, The Hills, and Maui Fever, Living Lahaina was shot in the format of a scripted television show (rather than in the style of a traditional reality show or documentary).[4] Cast members did not speak directly to the camera. Instead, the show made use of a Dukes of Hazzard style voice-over narrative periodically throughout each episode, to give background or sum up storylines.[4]
