Rise and Shine: Top 3 Sunrise Spots in Hawaii (Your Alarm Clock Will Be Jealous)

#alohaspirit If you think Hawaii sunsets are magical, wait until you see its sunrises. Trust us, your morning alarm will never be the same once you’ve witnessed one of these epic sunrises. Here’s where you need to wake up early and chase the sunrise in Hawaii: 1. Haleakalā National Park, Maui Get up at the crack of dawn (and maybe a bit earlier) to catch the sunrise from the Haleakalā Crater. It’s worth the early wake-up call, as the sky turns into an otherworldly mix of pink, orange, and purple hues, all set against the massive crater. Seriously, you’ll feel like you’re on a different planet. Bring a jacket though—it’s chilly up there at 10,000 feet! 2. Lanikai Beach, Oahu If you’re looking for a peaceful, beachy sunrise, Lanikai Beach is the place to be. The sun rises over the Mokulua Islands, painting the sky in brilliant colors while you sip your coffee (and try to look like you’ve been up for hours, even if you haven’t). It’s the perfect spot for some early morning zen and a few Insta-worthy pics. 3. Kilauea Point, Kauai On Kauai, you can catch a sunrise from Kilauea Point, where you can see the sun rise over the ocean and the cliffs. Bonus: You might spot some seabirds or even a whale off the coast. It’s a magical start to any day. So, pack your camera (and some coffee), because Hawaii’s sunrises are not to be missed!
