New Year in Hawaii


As you near the end of 2011, making plans to celebrate the fresh start January 1st affords you will loom in the background of your holiday plans. After a festive Christmas Day, why not jet off to the islands for a New Year in Hawaii? Having spent weeks weaving through shopping malls and hours preparing food for the annual family feast, what could be better than saying “Hau’oli Makahiki Hou” as the clock strikes twelve?

Regardless of whether you come from a cold-weather city or not, spending a time in paradise as 2012 begins will leave you feeling rejuvenated after the hectic festive season. Long days in abundant sunshine and evenings on the beach – not to mention the spectacular fireworks show – will make it seem like all your cares are far, far away. Whether you end up spread out on a blanket or are the type who wants to sail out at sunset to relax on deck as the New Year sweeps in, do your best to squeeze one of these celebrations into your itinerary:

Waikiki Beach

This annual fireworks show is a staple for the residents and visitors on this side of Oahu. Dozens of hotels and businesses line the oceanfront here, so it’s possible to get a bite to eat or do some shopping before you stake out your spot on the sand. There’s even a countdown, so you’ll think you are in a more tropical Times Square without the skyscrapers.

 

Aloha Tower Marketplace

Stretched out along a pier in Honolulu Harbor, you will want to see if you can reserve a table in one of the many restaurants at the water’s edge. Not only will you have access to great food, you’ll get the best view on the bay as the lightshow and fireworks spread out overhead.

Four Seasons Hualalai

Though patrons of this resort on the big island of Hawaii are the only intended beneficiaries of this spectacular pyrotechnic display, it’s also possible to see it from Queen Kaahumanu Highway to the southeast. It isn’t quite the same as seeing color explode over the water, but it’s also far less expensive than renting a room!

Wailea Beach

Unlike the Four Seasons in Kona, this show by the Grand Wailea Resort is open to the public. A short stroll down Maui’s scenic Wailea Coastal Walk will get you to the stretch of sand ideal for viewing the fireworks. You can light a small bonfire and cook up some campfire favorites, then lay back on the beach as the display kicks off at midnight.

Hulopoe Beach

Widely regarded as one of the best displays in the island chain, visibility and space are among the biggest benefits of coming to this spot on the island of Maui. A Four Seasons Resort takes up a portion of the land but, in general, the steep curve of Manele Bay almost acts like a natural amphitheater – it wraps around the warm coastal waters with enough open beach all the way around to accommodate thousands.
