2.Fijian Nature and Waterfall Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 57 reviews · 2 hours · from $69

Travel from Suva into Colo-I-Suva Nature Reserve with a private vehicle and guide such as Peter, Joel, or John. Walk rainforest trails, look for birds and native plants, stop at Waisila Falls, and swim in a clear natural pool. Expect slippery ground, steps, and a tour that may run closer to three hours.

“Joel was an incredibly friendly and fun guide. He picked us up on time and drove us out to Colo-I-Suva. There were great bathroom facilities near the car park. Joel led us on a hike down to the lower pool, and gave warnings when the hand rails weren't stable to keep us safe. He was very knowledgeable about the local plant life, filling us in on interesting facts about the area. He also took us to an amazing Fijian restaurant for lunch after the tour. 100% would do again.”

“Hemos salido media hora tarde. No han venido a recogernos a la salida del puerto yendo afuera y preguntando. Después como los autobuses iban llenos y dos personas que no cabían en su excursión han decidido que nuestra excursión debía llevarlos a la base de las cataratas ( que no estaba incluida en nuestra excursión) y recogerlos dedicando tres horas a ello y sin información alguna. Nos hemos quejado al responsable de Kay Services y nos han alargado la excursión sobre el horario previsto una hora y media”
