Traditionally, the New Year is a time to reminisce on the past year and reflect on accomplishments and successes that have been found over the previous 12 months. Many take the chance to hit reset on aspects of their lives and take the chance to make drastic changes.
The New Year is also a time for celebration and late night activities, and the chance to have one last night of fun, culminating in a countdown to the clock striking midnight and ringing in a brand new year. Celebrations around the world draw thousands of visitors to central locations for various parties. Whether in New York City’s Time Square for the famous ball drop or on Nashville’s famous Broadway for the dropping of the guitar, celebrations will be in full force this year, and the celebrations in Hawaii will be among the last in the world to ring in 2017.
Waikiki Beach - Oahu
For those looking to gather with the crowds and enjoy fireworks over the ocean, Waikiki Beach draws visitors and locals for a fun party that concludes with a fireworks show to put all others to shame as the clock strikes midnight. The streets of Waikiki will be filled with people ending the year and welcoming in a new year in the waning hours of 2016.
If you’re looking for a quieter and relaxing New Year’s Eve, the offerings at sea are exceptional and allow you to view the fireworks of Waikiki without the crowds. Hawaii Discount offers a number of great New Year’s Eve Cruises on board Oahu’s most well-known vessels, complete with dinner, drinks, and entertainment.
Maui
Most on Maui flock to Lahaina for a fun evening in the streets waiting for the New Year to arrive. But Maui features great cocktail cruises and include appetizers and complimentary cocktails while cruising along the coastline. Be sure to reserve your spots early as this is an extremely popular activity and will sell out fast.
