Here’s How to Watch Two Hawaiʻi New Year’s Firework Shows Virtually

From Waikīkī to Wailea, see these firework shows from anywhere.

Hawaiʻi takes its firework shows seriously. On New Year’s Eve, beaches are lined with eager crowds waiting for midnight to see dazzling fireworks explode over the Pacific Ocean. 

For those wishing they could enjoy New Year’s fireworks from a beach in Hawaiʻi, or those wanting to avoid crowds at this time, these webcams provide spectacular views of the shows. From anywhere in the world, watch the celebrated return of fireworks to Waikīkī and the popular Wailea fireworks in South Maui.

Tip: Hawaiʻi is unique because it will be the last state to enter 2022. Hawaiʻi is in the Hawaiʻi-Aleutian Standard Time Zone, which means midnight fireworks explode five hours after the ball drops in New York City.

For commentary on the show, tune into Hawaiʻi Public Radio to listen to a live New Year’s special. Tune to FM and dial KHPR 88.1 or 88.5. Also, listen to the show online. 

Fireworks from Wailea

Maui’s prominent firework show launches from a barge offshore of the Grand Wailea Resort. So, there’s no better way to watch the display than from the top of the resort. Positioned at the peak of the Grand Wailea, this webcam provides an unparallel view of Wailea Beach and the ideal vantage point for the show.
