Just wondering if anyone has done the Ho'omanao, the morning breakfast and show done through Old Lahaina? Its sounds really interesting and its only offered Tuesdays and Fridays. We did an evening Luau at Paradise Cove, but we'd like something more authentic

Here are the activities
"Your experience begins in the sparkling morning light along the shores of historic Lahaina as you are greeted by our friendly hosts with Kukui Nut Lei and a Lauhala Fan. Enjoy our 'Aina Kakahiaka, a Hawaiian style breakfast. Take pleasure in the Aloha Welcome Chant followed by a Hula performance. After breakfast, join us for our interactive cultural encounters called Na Kulana. Within these (3) interactive villages, guests will discover the fascinating history of early Hawaii, see demonstrations and participate in Hawaiian activities such as learning how to play Hula implements, poi pounding, kapa cloth making, learning the art of “throw-net” fishing, Hawaiian spear throwing and much more. This is a chance to experience the authentic Hawaii that very few visitors get to opportunity to see."

I have only done the evening luau and the facilities and grounds are nice and they have crafts people around that you can watch, so I'm sure they do a nice job for breakfast.

I too have only done night luaus but the description sounds very interesting. I'd be game if I were there.

I know its rated very highly. We are not staying on Maui and would like to fly there for the day and I"m worried we wont have time to do the night luau, ending around 8:30 to get back to a flight at 10 back to Oahu

As long as you are staying on Oahu, go to Polynesian Cultural Center. They have the best Polynesian entertainment in Hawaii.

If you are going to Maui just for a day, take the Road to Hana or take in some of the other sights.
