Ho'omana'o, presented by Old Lahaina Lu'au

Informative morning luau is a more low-key, but highly entertaining, alternative to Old Lahaina's popular evening luau.

by Eric Grossman

In Short
Presented by Old Lahaina Lu'au, Ho'omana'o ("to remember") presents the history and traditions of Native Hawaiians. Guests are greeted with a tropical juice drink and treated to a lavish Hawaiian breakfast buffet including Kula pork hash, Island French toast, fresh fruit and more. After a hula performance, guests visit interactive demonstrations of early Hawaiian customs such as fishing, weapon use, and land cultivation. A brief hula lesson culminates in a group hula performance at closing. Guests leave with a traditional handmade fan, Kukui nut necklace, and a glimpse of real Hawaiian culture.

Don't miss this luau!

I've been to several luaus on Maui, and this is clearly the best. They are organized (I had a credit due, and when I gave my name to the greeter in the parking lot across the street, they knew I had a credit and told me exactly where to go to have it issued. The food is outstanding: a huge variety from pork to raw ahi. Everything was fresh, tasty, and there were huge portions available. I was given a mai tai when I entered, and it was sort of weak. I took it to the bartender who happily "fixed" it. When I went back later, he remembered me and gave me another excellent drink. The show was incredible. My knowledge of hawaiian culture is limited, so I don't really know how authenic it was, but it certainly appeared more "real" than other luau's I've been to. A great show and worth the price of admission.

• Pros: The food!
• Cons: Maybe a little expensive, but everything in Maui is
