The Kawainui Stream Bridge has become a little attraction around this rainforest because some people like to jump from the bridge into the water.

Warning: Jumping off the bridge can be dangerous, as the river level can change and it can become too shallow. Jumping is not recommended.

Nice view from bridge to river pool. The river shoots out of a tunnel (!)

Cycling

Kawainui Stream is flowing down from the Hilo Watershead, leaving pools of water along the mountain. At this point there is a wood bridge suspended over the water. The most unique thing is the mouth of the stream next to the bridge as it looks like water is rushing out of a black hole bored in the jungle.
