It's true that Europeans have more vacation time during the year (six weeks is typical) but am not convinced they take longer vacations. My experience is they take more vacations and occasionally take a long one every so often when they want to explore.
Most of the European tourists I've met in Hawaii tend to make the trip here as part of a general trip to the US; they'll visit cities such as New York and San Francisco (for example) and tag on a few days in Hawaii if they can afford it. I've met very few that visit Hawaii for a long time.
As AKpilot states, it's just not a destination spot that appeals in Europe unless it's tagged onto a US mainland trip.
