…many guests opt to dine on the sprawling Lanai outside, with lush exotic gardens and even a big waterfall!

Imagine sitting outside on the wooden deck, the sound of the waterfall behind you, a cold, tropical drink in hand—doesn’t get much better than that, right?

In total, Mai-Kai has eight different dining rooms to choose from, but the secluded gems of the Samoa, Tahiti, and Lanai overlooking the tropical garden and waterfall are some of the most intimate.

Also make sure you visit during one of their live shows, which will open with the roaring sound of the drums and include professional Polynesian dancers, fire performers, and more!
