The game was physical, with the Hawaiians enjoying many big hits when the big men came together, but played in a good spirit.
The Seagulls came from 12-0 down early but the game opened up in the second half and they ran in five tries, all converted by Lindon McGrady.
Try-scorers were Peter Lee (two), Lamar Liolevave, Sam Meskell and a Canadian player who played off the bench for the team who wore souvenir jerseys showing a palm tree and, for the first time, new major sponsor Ben Campbell Building Group.
The following night the players and support team went to the 50,000-capacity Olaha Stadium to watch the Hawaiian Rainbow Warriors college team that featured Ryan Meskell as a kicker, beat St Jose State 37-26.
The squad will enjoy a few more days end-of-season break on the island of Oahu before returning to the Gold Coast.
