Guest stars appearing in this season included notable actors of the time. The season consists of 24 episodes, maintaining the typical length of previous seasons. While specific plot details and individual episode summaries would require further breakdown, the overall tone and style of the series remained consistent with its earlier seasons, focusing on action, police investigation, and the scenic backdrop of Hawaii. The season culminated in a cliffhanger episode that set the stage for the show's tenth season. The departure of Zulu as Kono Kalakaua marked a significant change in the regular cast during this season.
