About the Kapaia Swinging Bridge
Kapaia Swinging Bridge, located at 4438 Laukini Road in Lihue, Hawaii, is a historical tourist attraction that dates back to 1948. This 125-foot-long suspension bridge with two wooden towers connected by steel cables is a significant part of Hawaii's plantation culture. After years of neglect, efforts are underway to restore the bridge to its former glory.
The bridge was closed in 2006 due to safety concerns, but thanks to the Kapaia Foundation and community support, plans are in place to rebuild and modernize the structure. The restoration project, led by HD Construction and architect Ron Agor, aims to preserve the original design while ensuring its longevity. The community is rallying together to raise funds and provide additional support for the restoration efforts.
Despite the challenges faced in recent years, the Kapaia Swinging Bridge remains a symbol of Hawaii's rich history and cultural heritage. With ongoing restoration efforts and community involvement, this iconic landmark is on its way to being fully restored for visitors to enjoy once again.

Reviews of Kapaia Swinging Bridge
"What a beautiful spot! I'm so glad we took a few minutes to check it out. Beware if you wall up the hill past the bridge, you end up at a Catholic church. This is triggering for me. Just stay near the bridge area. There were so many butterflies and absolutely beautiful flowers!"
"This is a neat place to visit if in Kauai. It’s just short drive and the bridge is awesome. Parking is a little confusing, but when I went there were no cars so just parked where I thought I should. No one was there and if you have a time there’s room for a little picnic or relax time."
"Pretty cool place to visit. Down a bumpy side road near some houses. We didn’t see any locals, but have read they can be unwelcoming. Started raining during our visit."
"This is a cool spot off the beaten path. It is nothing grand, but it is very peaceful. You can sit on a bench and relax to the sound of the babbling creek."
"A great diversion but not a destination. If you’re headed north out of Lihue then make the stop. Nice historical interpretation and photo opportunities. Going after a hard rain it’s fun to see the creek raging. We parked on the grass. There’s a donation bin to help keep the place running."
