Local Expert Tips
Sunset Timing Strategy
Hawaii's sunset varies from 5:45 PM (winter) to 7:15 PM (summer). Plan evening activities to either catch the golden hour or start after sunset when venues light up beautifully.
Cultural Evening Circuit
Start with pau hana (happy hour) at a gallery opening in Chinatown, then catch a 7 PM performance at the Honolulu Theatre for Youth or Kumu Kahua Theatre. Many venues are within walking distance.
