Pipiwai Trail Banyan Tree

Pipiwai Trail Banyan Tree

About 1 mile into the Pipiwai Trail hike, you’ll come to one of the most iconic trees in this world, a banyan tree, part of the fig family, that cuts a wide horizontal swath using aerial roots from horizontal branches that eventually grow into supporting trunks.

Just a smidge tinier than the famous banyan tree in Lahaina, this banyan tree is over 100 years old, and spread over a 60-foot diameter.

A great place to park yourself for a bit, catch your breath, and snap a couple of photos for your Instagram!
