TV Viewers Dream of Getting LOST in Hawaii on Vacation

When Kayak.com (notice the Kayak widget on our blog?) an online travel search web site polled nearly 600 people to think about TV shows and travel inspirations, 43.5% chose "Lost" as their number one travel destination.

A whopping 73% said they would like to tour the set of "Lost" and check out the "hatch" from the popular ABC television show. The TV show does not offer any public tours of the indoor film studio but don't let that stop you from visiting outdoor Hawaii locations where "Lost" was shot.

Sheila from Go Visit Hawaii is a big "Lost" fan. Recently, she and her husband were on Oahu exploring some of the key spots where scenes from "Lost" were filmed. She gives directions and advice for finding the survivor's camp, the submarine dock, Jin's father's fishing pier, Hurley's golf course, and more! See her post Finding "Lost" sites on Oahu.

1 out of 4 travelers said they visited a place because of a favorite television show took place there. Of the people surveyed, half said they have never taken a TV inspired trip but would like to in the future.

Where would you like to visit based on your favorite television show?

Thanks so much for the mention! Finding those Lost filming sites was so much fun and one of the highlights of that vacation. You could probably spend a whole week or more on Oahu just finding all the places they film Lost.

It is great that many of the "Lost" film locations were on public property. When the new Indiana Jones movie opens next year, people won't be able to see much if anything, because they filmed on private property.

Can you believe that I've never seen a single episode? Although, I did see them filming at Kahala Mall one day. That was pretty cool!

Kailani, I know you are a busy girl but that is incredible! I watched it the first season just because it was filmed in Hawaii, but at one point it seemed like they kept showing repeats and I lost interest. However, I'm glad that it is a successful show being filmed in Hawaii.
