Ko Olina Resort's Massive Fireworks Display makes Oahu a Hot Destination for traveling revelers on New Year's Eve
Download Press Release
New Years Lagoon Fireworks Spectacular
New Year’s Eve in Hawaii is a hot ticket for many reasons. Aside from the warm weather,
water and beaches, the party starts five hours earlier and lasts well after the East Coast sunrise. As the ball drops in Times Square the revelry is just beginning on this tiny chain of
islands, arguably the most popular, Westernmost location in the US for New Year’s Eve.
(http://www.travelandleisure.com/americas‐favorite‐cities/2011/category/best‐times‐to‐
visit/new‐years‐eve) In 2010, Honolulu ranked #3 of all US cities in the Best Times to Visit:
New Year’s Eve category for T+L.
The momentum builds with each echoing chorus of auld lang syne, every hour on the
tv/radio/web falling domino‐like across states and time zones. When it finally peaks in
Hawaii with a thunderous display of fireworks at Ko Olina Resort, the feeling is
inescapable. The effect is opposite that of election night in Hawaii where many residents
know results before having a chance to vote!
While those on EST greet the dawn of a new year scraping ice off a windshield, or trying to
make it home in the snow with flattened party hats and soggy hornblowers, Oahu is still
reveling in a night of Ko Olina fireworks that can be seen across the island, from Pearl
Harbor to Diamond Head and beyond. (Here’s a clip of last year’s action:

Could be you’d rather see the aerial show with champagne and caviar on a boat? The 53‐ft. Gold Coast sailing catamaran Holole'a Kai or the Kai'oli'oli Hawaii's newest 61‐foot
powered catamaran, (PIC) will set sail New Year’s Eve from the state‐of‐the‐art Ko Olina
Marina.
