The Lahaina Banyan Tree is a staple of the community spanning over 1.9 acres in downtown Lahaina. The tree was gifted from the missionaries in India over 150 years ago. When the tree was planted in 1873 it was around 8 feet tall and has since grown to over 60 feet with 16 major trunks! This image was taken in December of 2021 from above showing the true scale of the tree with the beautiful Lahaina harbor in the background. From above it looks as if the tree is a small forest which show how incredible this tree truly is! While Lahaina is not the only historical town on the island of Maui it may be one of the coolest to see because of the extreme elevation difference ranging from a few feet above sea level to over 5000 feet. In addition to that, the word Lahaina means “Cruel Sun” in the Hawaiian language due to the town's year-round sunny and warm weather making it a great place to visit, or just welcome some of the Hawaiian spirits, sun and warmth into your home through this metal print.

As of August 10th 2023, the status of the beautiful Banyan Tree is unknown. The tree is still standing and is charred due to the fires in Maui. Restoration efforts are underway to save the tree.


Lahaina is a beautiful town in Maui, with history going back hundreds of years. Kamehameha I first arrived in Lahaina in 1795, over 229 years ago. Since then Lahaina has seen a rich history of whaling, sugar cane and more! Over the years Lahaina became a busy shopping town with Front Street being ranked of the Americas top ten greatest streets. Many of the iconic buildings around the town date back to the late 1800’s or early 1900’s with the first hotel opening in 1901! This beautiful image was taken in December of 2021 showing the popular walk with many shops and restaurants. Sadly this beautiful town was burned down in the wildfires in 2023 and as of August 10th the damage and impact is still unknown.


It is hard to imagine how large the volcano-created mountains of Maui are but when looking at them in comparison to the building of Lahaina the true magnitude can be seen. The mountain in this picture ranges from 800,000 to 1.3 million years old.

It is hard to imagine something this old but what might be more fascinating is the town of Lahaina. The street seen in this image is known as Front Street and it dates back to the 1820s. Lahaina has many historical attractions one of which is the oldest banyan tree in the United States which was planted in 1873 and can be seen on the right of the image.

As the islands of Hawaii formed the shape and texture of the land were dependent on where the lava went, how it cooled, and how much there was. Millions of years ago when Maui was forming lava met the ocean and instantly became hard rock. Over the years of waves crashing against the rocks, it has eroded to create the series of shelves and paths for the waves to create the waterfall seen in this image.

In the background of this image, you can see Honokahua Bay, with the island wrapping around off in the distance. This shows how the lava found the easiest path out to the ocean forming the bay.

While many people like the pristine white beaches that meet the ocean this unique image will be the talking point of your home. It is not every day that you can see millions of years worth of land creation and erosion to make a scene like this and there is no better way to display it than on metal!

Nestled on the lush slopes of Haleakalā, the bamboo forest on Maui is a stunning tapestry of vibrant green hues. Tall bamboo stalks, reaching skyward, form a dense, towering canopy that filters the sunlight into dappled patterns on the forest floor. The bamboo, with its smooth, segmented stems, creates a natural corridor that stretches endlessly in every direction, evoking a sense of serenity and mystery.

The air is filled with the gentle rustling of leaves, as the bamboo sways softly in the breeze, creating a melodic whisper that adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The ground is carpeted with fallen bamboo leaves, which crunch softly underfoot, mingling with the occasional fern or tropical plant that thrives in the shaded understory.

Sunbeams occasionally pierce through the thick canopy, illuminating the vibrant green foliage and casting long, ethereal shadows. The forest is alive with the subtle sounds of nature—birdsong, the distant trickle of a stream, and the occasional rustle of small creatures moving through the underbrush.

This image captures the enchanting beauty and serene ambiance of Maui’s bamboo forest, a place where the natural world seems to come alive in a symphony of green and light.

Front Street in Lahaina, Maui was voted one of America's top 10 greatest streets, and is home to the largest banyan tree in America! Front Street offers many attractions both to local residents and tourists. You can find many historic buildings dating back to the late 1800’s. In addition to the historic aspects of Front Street, there are many shops and restaurants to stop at!

From November to May Front Street is a great place to see whales as the migrate to warmer waters for the winter. Between the shops, history, Banyan Tree, beautiful Lahaina harbor, and much more, Front Street is true one of the best streets in the USA!

As of August 10th 2023 the damage from the Hawaii wildfires is still unknown. Front Street will forever be different but we do hope that this beautiful image will serve a a reminder of the history that was lost during the tragic event.
