There’s nothing better than a Hawaiian sunset. The fantastic orange, red, blue and pink hues evoke a spiritual high in some visitors as the sun blends graciously with the horizon. Hawaii is actually 20 degrees north of the equator and 155 degrees west of the Prime Meridian, which seems to be the perfect spot for these incredible sunsets that occur between 5:45 to 7:30 PM depending on the season.
