Banyan tree at Moana Surfrider in Waikiki Hawaii

ALOHA!

There is a fun banyan tree to see at the Moana Surfrider resort, and it can make for a nice easy going walk in Waikiki to see a banyan tree and the beach!

The Moana Surfrider is a beachfront hotel so you can get to it from the beach side or the street side.

To see the Moana banyan tree from the beach, you can start at Kuhio Beach and then walk along the beach towards the Moana Surfrider. Or you can start from the surfboard alley to walk to the beach, and then towards the banyan tree. You will be able to see the banyan tree from the beach.

The hotel is directly along the main road through Waikiki, Kalakaua Avenue. To get there from the street side, you’ll walk along Kalakaua Avenue until you see the Moana Surfrider. Also called the “First Lady of Waikiki” it has a historic it has a historic look with a grand old-fashioned style that catches your eye from the street, so you’ll know when you see it! You can walk in through the entrance, and just go straight ahead to get back outside, and you’ll be at the Moana banyan courtyard!

Once you’re at the banyan tree, be sure to look up and all around to see how the entire tree is connected!
