I meant to look up Star of Honolulu earlier to see what they had going on. It looks like they have some nice cruises on the 3rd and 4th. http://www.starofhonolulu.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=251&Itemid=648 Thank you Dave for those fantastic tips!

Almost every island has something like that. There are several dinner cruises on Oahu that have a special “Fireworks Cruises”. All of them are amazingly romantic and not only give you an unobstructed view of the fireworks and city lights but you also get served good food and avoid the crowds. The second best place to watch the fireworks on Oahu is from Sand Island. It’s directly across the harbor from Aloha Tower. You get unobstructed views and no crowds. If you go there, you can expect to see a lot of local families camped out with their BBQ’s. That’s where I’ll be. ;) (Unless you have a room with a great view) In my opinion… The best place to watch the fireworks is from a boat like a dinner cruise.
