Sorry Bing Crosby, not everybody dreams of a White Christmas. If the icicles have you down this December, let the Hawaiian sun melt your shivers away with a Luau Christmas on O’ahu!
Hawaii’s “winter” (if you can really call it that) showers make for breathtaking morning rainbows, clear and bright stretching across the entire horizon. Instead of spending your time off shoveling a driveway, head to Waikiki Beach to take by-the-hour surfing lessons. Don’t feel like getting wet? Hang out on the beach under a complimentary chair and umbrella, with service from Hale Koa Barefoot Beach Bar.
With so many highly rated tours to choose from, there’s always something to see or experience. Take a peaceful audio tour around Iolani Palace, kept in perfect condition since Hawaii’s monarchy was overthrown in 1893.
On Christmas Day itself some businesses may be closed, but be sure to go to one of Honolulu’s famous Luaus Christmas Eve. Hawaiian honey-braised rotisserie pork is not the be overlooked. Eat a Christmas Eve with your family you’ll never forget as you watch a live traditional tribal fire dance show while you eat!
If a couple’s Christmas is what you’re looking for, a simple drive along the coast is all it takes to find a beach to yourself. Feel your feet sink into the sand and gentle waves caress your ankles as you walk along the beach, and enjoy the view of the sunset. It promises to be breathtaking no matter where you are.
I’m someone who never wants my knowledge of how people make their way through the world to stagnate. So I’ll keep studying psychology, philosophy, writing, and music, as my outlets to understand them better, and hopefully travel to get my chance to meet them. Then maybe, we might get to change just a little bit of each other’s lives.
