Creator's Key Takeaways

And this was one of the most rewarding hikes we've done anywhere. So, join us as we discover a side of Fiji so many cruise passengers never see.

If you've only ever associated Fiji with beaches, this place completely changes your perception of the country. This is wild Fiji.

Of all the places we travel around the world and we've traveled a fair bit, this is the happiest and friendliest place we've ever ever encountered.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a bottle of water when visiting Suva/Colo-I-Suva.
Wear proper walking shoes or trainers with good grip; leave flip-flops on the ship.
Wear lightweight clothing due to humidity.
Bring swimwear if you want to swim in the waterfall pools.
Choose the longer trail if you want to experience the full rainforest and all three waterfalls.

YouTube Video Description

Join us as we spend a day exploring Suva, Fiji’s vibrant capital city, before escaping the hustle and bustle to discover one of Fiji’s hidden natural gems — Colo-I-Suva Forest Park. In this video, we take you beyond the usual cruise ship stops and tourist highlights to experience a different side of Fiji. We begin our journey in Suva, exploring the sights, atmosphere and character of a city that blends Pacific culture, history and modern life. But the real adventure begins when we head into the rainforest at Colo-I-Suva Forest Park — a beautiful tropical sanctuary just outside the city. Here, surrounded by lush jungle, freshwater pools and the sounds of native wildlife, we discover why this is one of the best places to experience the natural beauty of Fiji. Colo-I-Suva is the perfect escape from the busy streets of Suva and offers visitors the chance to slow down, reconnect with nature and experience the wild Fiji that many travellers miss. Walking through the rainforest trails, crossing streams and discovering hidden waterfalls, it feels like stepping into another world. Whether you are visiting Fiji on a cruise, planning your own adventure, or looking for things to do in Suva, this video will show you why Colo-I-Suva should be on your list. 🌴 In this video we explore: 00:00 Introduction – Discovering Suva, Fiji 02:00 Travelling to Colo-I-Suva Forest Park 03:19 Walking through the rainforest trails 05:45 Tips & Advice for Discovering Fiji’s tropical wilderness 09:20 Colo-I-Suva Waterfall plunge pools 10:55 Exploring Suva city 14:58 Our thoughts on visiting Colo-I-Suva & Exploring Suva City If you enjoy travel vlogs, cruise port guides, hidden gems and authentic travel experiences, make sure you subscribe to Cooksexplore and join us as we discover that life is better out there somewhere. 📍 Destination: Suva, Fiji 🌿 Highlight: Colo-I-Suva Forest Park 🇫🇯 Country: Fiji #Fiji #SuvaFiji #ColoISuva #FijiTravel #TravelVlog #cruisevlog #cruiseholidays Follow Us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cooksexplore?igsh=MTlxa3luZXZ1YmRwcQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Please subscribe to see more content like this - https://youtube.com/@CooksExplore?sub_confirmation=1
