"Friendly warning - Don't go on it if you're afraid of heights or aren't up for it being scary. We saw a woman crying while crossing. She was miserable."
"Visited on a Sunday so it wasn’t busy. Most of the shops were closed. The bridge is cool. Beware it does swing. I enjoyed it despite my fear of heights. Worth the effort to go visit. There was a local woman there making fresh leis. I purchased one as I love flowers and want to support the local economy."
"Visited the town of Hanapepe on a Sunday and it was pretty sleepy, most everything closed. However, we came for the swinging bridge and coming on a slow day made it for less people there. It was a beautiful day and views from the bridge are so good with the blue sky, green, and red dirt. It was a little windy so the bridge was really swinging when we walked across it. Parking wasn't difficult due to the town mostly being closed."
"Nice views from the bridge. Felt pretty sketchy walking across it but no problems. Easy to access the bridge."
"An experience to go do but once you cross, there’s not much more to do. There is a partial trail but we saw some homes next to it and didn’t feel comfortable walking behind their home’s view so early in the morning. Bridge itself is old but you are asked not to swing the bridge so…. It’s in the name but not! Otherwise, still a site and experience. The area in which the bridge is located has quaint little stores and food venues but we were not able to experience many as we were just too early."
