Escape Suva’s city heat and step into the cool embrace of Fiji’s rainforest on the Colo-i-Suva Forest & Waterfall Tour. A quick 20–30 minute drive from downtown Suva, Colo-i-Suva is a protected nature reserve offering a peaceful retreat ideal for families, nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Start with comfortable hotel pickup or Suva cruise-ship transfer, then travel through suburban scenery to the forest park gate. Your friendly, local guide shares insights about Fiji’s native flora, endemic birds and the park’s history, recognising it as part of the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy and home to species like kingfishers and fantails
Once inside, follow well-maintained jungle trails leading you to Waisila Creek, where water-worn pools and small waterfall cascades create perfect places to cool off. Guests enjoy slipping, wading and swimming in these natural rock pools—fun, refreshing, and deeply grounding.
For hikers seeking a bit more, optional trails climb gently to upper pools, offering scenic views and quieter spots ideal for photo stops. The terrain is rated moderate, with some slippery and uneven sections—sturdy footwear is essential and our guides adapt pace to suit all fitness levels.
Lunch is served in the rainforest under shaded bure-style picnic huts—a hearty meal featuring fresh, local ingredients, snacks, soft drinks and bottled water provided. It’s the kind pause to soak in forest ambience and birdcalls (with over 80 bird species recorded in the reserve) before continuing your walk.
This full experience lasts around 5 hours door-to-door, including transport, guided walk, swim stops, lunch and photo opportunities. The tour highlights how Colo-i-Suva is one of Fiji’s rare urban-access rainforests—providing a cooling, lush escape just minutes away from Suva’s bustle.
Visitors consistently praise the professionalism of guides, flexible pace, safe walk to waterfalls—even families with children enjoy dips in calm lower pools. Many note this as their best inland adventure in Fiji, especially ideal for walkers, birders, or those seeking a reprieve from the tropical sun
You return refreshed, buzzing with forest energy, camera full of waterfall shots, and a deeper sense of Fiji’s rich natural heritage. Whether arriving by cruise ship or Suva accommodation, this nature tour delivers rainforest, wildlife, swim and cultural insight in one seamless outing.
