Overall Rating

Spend your holidays in paradise! Whether you're here on a romantic Valentine's getaway, a family trip for Independence Day, or visiting home for the Christmas holidays, these seasonal activities are here to make your holidays all the more fun, exciting, and special with themed tours and limited-time events.

Independence Day (4th of July)

One of the top fireworks shows in the country and the largest in the state happens above Ala Moana Beach Park, hosted by Ala Moana Center. Free and open to the public, the fireworks show begins at 8:30 pm, but the surrounding area is usually packed with picnic-ers before noon. Celebrate Independence Day this 4th of July on an unforgettable evening cocktail dinner sail or cruise along the coast, giving you front row seats to the finest fireworks displays on the island!
Christmas

You won't find a single snowflake on Oahu, but there's plenty of Christmas spirit to go around! Whether you wanted to escape a colder winter or come home for the holidays, Hawaii is the perfect place to spend your Christmas this year! See the Honolulu City Lights, a variety of twinking displays that celebrate Christmas in the Hawaiian isles, from on board a Waikiki trolley as it takes you around town, go on a special Christmas dinner cruise or attend a Christmas luau!
New Year's

Ring in the New Year Hawaiian-style and celebrate this New Year's Eve on spectacular fireworks sail or special night show! The coast of Waikiki is the place to be this December 31st, as a brilliant aerial fireworks show will light up the night to bring in another exciting year! Here is your guide to the best activities and tour plans for celebrating on the evening of the new year.
Valentine's Day

Celebrate Valentine's Day with the love of your life in the land of Aloha. Spend the 14th of February with your special someone this year to create memories that will last for years to come. Give something more than just chocolate and roses—from sunset dinner cruises to spectacular evening shows, there is something in Oahu for everyone on this day of love and romance.
Mother's Day and Father's Day

Create new memories for your mother or father by taking them on these activities that specifically commemorate Mother's Day and Father's Day. Cruise on the Star of Honolulu for a Mother's Day champagne brunch, or enjoy a sunset dinner cruise for Father's Day. Moms and dads get a special drink to recognize all they've done on their day!
