Banyan Drive in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii is known for the giant banyan trees that line the street. Each tree is marked with plaques and were planted by famous Americans and Hawaiian royalty. Hilo's moist climate produces flowers that are shipped worldwide. Throughout the town colorful anthuriums and orchid varieties fill shade houses and yards. Along Banyan Drive is Liliu'okalani Gardens with 30 acres of Hawaiian and oriental plantings, walkways, pagodas, ponds and bridges. Across the footbridge is Coconut Island, a great place for viewing the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. Banyan Drive is home to many of the larger hotels in Hilo.
