  • It is one big tree with many branches. It was my fist time to see a tree like this. I stopped here when driving along the west coast of Maui.

  • Very neat to see and very glad we stopped for a look. Lots of people roaming around and lots of birds in the branches………heads up you don’t want a mess on your shirt or head

  • Amazing and Beautiful Banyan tree! Must see in person to truly admire its beauty. Branches extend 100 ft in either direction and the tree itself is over 150 years old. Plenty of places to sit and relax in the shade along with historical buildings nearby espalier. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby as well. You can make a day exploring this little community.
  • Exquisite banyan court. The tree is massive and is a very cool thing to visit. Love how the tree is supported by many other trees. Make sure to go through the entire circle to appreciate all of it. Mid day is a good time to go when the crowd seems to be less.
