When to Get There

The Old Lahaina Courthouse and Lahaina Heritage Museum are open daily and you can visit the tree itself at any time. The park is an ideal spot for a shady midday picnic or an evening stroll when its branches are illuminated by golden street lamps. Visit on the second and fourth weekend of the month for bimonthly art festivals or come during Halloween and Christmas for special holiday displays.

The Growth of the Banyan Tree

Lahaina’s prized tree arrived as an 8-foot (2.4-meter) sapling imported from India in 1873 to honor the 50th anniversary of the first Protestant mission in Lahaina. Now well over a century old, the tree covers a quarter mile and is one of the largest banyan trees in the US. The tree has 16 main trunks and countless dangling vines waiting to become new roots.
