One of the most photographed spots on the Manoa Falls trail is the natural arch formation of a banyan tree (at the beginning of the bamboo forest section). Most likely, you will have to wait in line to snap a picture here!
And at the end of the trail, a beautiful 150-foot Manoa Falls, gushing if after rains.
