In the small forest behind Kawela Bay, there is a stunning, large banyan tree known for its impressive expanse of multiple trunks and vines. This remarkable tree has served as a filming location for several major motion pictures and television shows, including LOST and Pirates of the Caribbean. As banyan trees age, their "prop roots" grow into new trunks, often becoming as large as the original. Banyan trees, like the one at Kawela Bay, can live for several hundred years.
