Ringing in 2025 With These Top New Year’s Eve Celebrations in Hawaii

As the countdown to the new year begins, we’re excited to share the top New Year’s Eve celebrations in Hawaii. Whether you’re planning a vacation to the Aloha State or already a local, there’s no better place to celebrate the start of a new year. From stunning beachfront fireworks displays to decadent dining and luau dinner shows, we’ve got you covered with our expert guide to ring in 2025 in style.

Oahu

Oahu is set to host not one, but two fireworks shows to mark the start of the new year. Begin the night with a special dinner at one of Waikiki’s many restaurants, and then head to Waikiki Beach to enjoy the annual fireworks show. For a dinner and show experience, consider one of the several luau options available.

One standout event is the second annual fireworks show at Wai Kai, a water sports, dining, and entertainment complex in Ewa Beach. On the westside in Ko Olina, a midnight show from the lagoons is not to be missed.

Maui

Maui is offering a spectacular fireworks display from the beachfront of the Grand Wailea resort. While the resort’s guests will have a unique viewing experience, we’ve also provided tips on how to enjoy the evening and catch the fireworks show as a non-guest.
