I’m always enthralled by a good sunrise, but there’s something truly special about an early Hawaiian sunrise. And this one, our first after sailing from Australia, did not disappoint.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve shown what the view was like on the last morning of our cruise. This early Hawaiian sunrise was, of course, spectacular. On this morning, we’d spent a month on the MS Noordam. In some ways, it had become a little traveling home with good food, good service, and plenty of people to talk to. With all those things going for our time on the ship, we were anxious to get back on land. And because we were docking in Honolulu, I was especially excited.
When I woke up and discover that the skies were clear and there were clouds on the horizon, I was in my little photographer’s heaven zone. Those who take lots of photos know the feeling—something good is going to happen and you want to capture it. With that in mind, let’s celebrate the sunrise with a few shots regardless of their location. And if you need a little more Hawaii, try my Trouble in Paradise Pinterest board.

This was one of our first sunrises on Kauai. This photo was taken on May 8, 2009.
Stepping back in time to 2011, here was a sunrise when the creek was flowing. That creek has changed directions many times since this photo.
Sunrises at Nukolii Beach were always a favorite of mine during our trips.

We had heavy rains the day before when we were in Capitola, but on this morning, the rain stopped and the skies were starting to clear.
