Suva has the nickname of “The Green Heart of the Pacific,” and there is a reason behind that. It is more than government buildings and rich cultures. It is a rainforest city. Also, the city has Naitasiri and Rew adventure zones in the surrounding. Moreover, with an annual rainfall of 3000 millimeters, it has natural wonders such as the Colo-i-Suva Forest Park and urban places such as the Thurston Gardens and Albert Park. In addition, the city is home to a “Healthy City” initiative. Newer and greener pedestrian paths, parklands, and improved waste management systems of the city are the major parts of this initiative. Hi, in today’s blog, I will talk about the Suva nature guide. The topics discussed here are:  The best natural places to visit in Suva, Fiji  Suva nature guide tips from experts  Things to know to travel like a local  FAQs. Suva Nature Guide: What Are The Best Natural Places To Visit In Suva? Located on a hilly peninsula on the southeast coast of Viti Levu, Suva is incredibly blessed with lush greenery. Also, starting from Colo-i-Suva Forest Park, to the hidden nature spots in Suva, Fiji, there are many places to explore. 1. The Crown Jewel: Colo-I-Suva Forest Park  Do you know how the locals of Suva pronounce Colo-I-Suva Forest Park? They call it tholo-ee-soo-va. This rainforest has an area of 2.5 square kilometers. Also, this lush green forest oasis serves as the primary green lung of the city. The Upper Vs. Lower Pools  The two pools, the upper and lower pools of Suva, are divided by the main road. On each side, you will have a distinct experience. The Upper Pools Nature lovers and hikers love the steep and well-maintained trails of the Upper Pools.  Also, here it is less about the splash of swimmers. The focus is more on the symphony of the forest. The Lower Pools The Lower Pools have swimming holes and a rope swing that has seen decades of use. Daring travelers and local families love this area. Also, these are the ideal places if you want to cool off after a humid trek. Birdwatching Guide In Colo-I-Suva Forest Park  Suva's rainforests are a symphony of endemic species. Keep your binoculars ready for the scarlet robin and pink-billed parrotfinch. You must not miss the dawn chorus as it is the best birdwatching experience you can have in Suva. Safety And Practical Tips For Colo-I-Suva Forest Park  While the park is beautiful, it requires common sense. Security guards are usually stationed at the main pools and trailheads. It is wise to stick to the populated trails and avoid hiking alone late in the afternoon. Slippery paths are a guarantee, and Suva's high rainfall means the clay-heavy soil is perpetually slick. Wear shoes with aggressive tread, not flip-flops.  2. Hidden Waterfalls And Swimming Holes (Within 20 Mins) If you find that Colo-i-Suva is very curated, you can choose a more local or secret experience and know the rugged side of Fiji.  Here are the best waterfalls and swimming holes of Suva. These are just 20 minutes away from the city.  Korolailai Waterfall (Wailoku) The Korolailai Waterfall in Wailoku is a favorite of the locals. Use the Sikh Temple in Wailoku as your landmark, and the trail starts from here.  The trail passes through local farms and secondary forest.  Also, the main fall features a flat rock ledge directly behind the curtain of water. You can sit there and let the weight of the waterfall pound your shoulders. It’s the best free spa treatment in the Central Division. Navakavu Blue Hole Take a short drive toward the Lami side of the bay to reach the Navakavu coastline.  A short drive toward the Lami side of the bay brings you to the Navakavu coastline. This area is a protected tabu (sacred/restricted) site under the local Iqoliqoli (customary fishing grounds). So, you have to check with the village headman or local guides before entering the village.  Moreover, "Blue Hole" is a stunning turquoise indentation in the reef flats, perfect for snorkeling during high tide. 3. Hiking Suva: From Peaks To Reserves Are you looking for some elevation and solitude? Do you have the fitness to explore heights? Hike these peaks and explore these reserves.  • Mount Korobaba Summit Hike It is the best Suva hike experience you can have. Mount Korobaba rises above the Lami harbor, and from the mountain, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Suva peninsula and Laucala Bay.  This trekking trail starts behind the Lami Cement Factory. So, the start is humble, but it is worth the grand view.  However, the hike is strenuous, and a return trip will take at least 2 to 3 hours. Also, here, you have to be very careful about the mud warning.  If it rains, the trail will become muddy and act like a vertical natural slide. Nevertheless, there are ropes in some sections to help you haul yourself up.  • Savura Forest Reserve Savura Forest Reserve is like a hidden gem, and it is a quiet academic zone that you would love to explore. It is a vital area for the water supply of Suva.  Furthermore, because it has fewer tourists, the biodiversity of the place remains almost intact. Overall, the condition is meditative and peaceful.  4. Coastal And Island Nature To cherish the coastal beauty and Island nature of Suva, you must visit the Nukulau Island and My Suva Park & The Seawall. At these places, you will understand the relationship of Suva with its marine landscape. So, leave the mainland and walk the southern edge.  • Nukulau Island The Nukalau Island is small, but it has a long history. It has served as a quarantine station and a prison. However, ironically, today, it is not a dark tourism site anymore.  In fact, it is now a peaceful place for a picnic.  Sandbank, And The History Of Nukulau Island  When there is a low tide, you will notice a massive stretch of sandbank here. The sandbank is ideal for wading.  You will also find here the remnants of many old structures. Thus, you can blend history with a beach day.  Nukulau Island Boat Logistics  The boats in the Nukulau Island leave from the Suva Wharf or the Vatuwaqa area. Charter a long boat and enjoy a breezy ride across the lagoon for 20 minutes.  A longboat is a fiverglass boat with an outboard motor. • My Suva Park And The Seawall You don’t always need a boat to see the coastal beauty of Suva. You can visit My Suva Picnic Park and explore the rehabilitated mangrove walkways.  Here, you will find the most intricate root systems that protect the shoreline from decay.  On the other hand, the Suva Seawall is the social hub of Suva City. Here, you will enjoy the sunset views over the peaks of Joske’s Thumb.  Also, don’t miss the view of Mount Korobaba in the distance.  During the sunset, the sky has the most fiery shade of violet, and looking at that, you can end a day of exploration on a perfect note.  5. Urban Greenery: Thurston Gardens Suva Botanical Gardens, or the Thurston Gardens, is an urban green space. The place got its name in 1976 after Sir John Bates Thurston, the founder of this botanical garden and the fifth governor of the city.  You can see diverse fauna in this botanical garden. It has water lilies, colorful gingers, ferns, and palms. It is also home to a prominent bat colony. In this context, you must know that bats are the only native mammals of Suva.  Currently, the Fiji Museum maintains this urban park, and other historical landmarks in the park are the bandstand and the Clock Tower.  These were built to commemorate the first mayor of the city.  Suva Nature Guide And Tips From Experts  Now, only the locals and taxi drivers know that Mt. Korobaba, "Pacific Cement Limited" factory in Lami, is better than the "Korobaba trailhead."  You can start your hike behind the factory fence. Now, this is what makes all the difference. The local and expert tips always help to enhance your Suva travel itinerary.  Do you want to know more such tips? Follow the details here.  1. Avoid Heavy Rain Days The weather in Suva is either wet or very wet. So, while it’s not practical to wait for a sunny morning and you must embrace the rainforest bath, you cannot trade the day of or after a heavy rainfall.  When it rains, the trails and forest tracks of Suva become natural and dangerous mudslides.  2. Take The Bus To Colo-i-Suva If You Are Traveling On A Budget  You don’t need to take a taxi for $15 if you are traveling to Colo-i-Suva from the city.  As a budget traveler, you can take the Sawani Bus from the main bus station and ask the driver to drop you at the park gate. The ticket price will be just $2.  3. Suva Keeps It Quiet On Sundays  Sundays are great for exploring the natural spots of Suva. These places are less crowded on Sundays.  Quite a surprise compared to the Western standards.  However, there is a catch! Public transport options are very limited on Sundays. So, you must pre-book a taxi for a smooth experience.  4. Follow The Sulu Rule  Suva is very particular about its customs and traditions.  Suppose you are visiting a secluded nature spot and you have to walk through a village, such as Korolailai, to reach that place.  Then, you will have to cover your legs with a sarong as a gesture of respect for the local community.  5. Be Aware Of Leptospirosis The pools and natural swimming places in Suva have tropical water. So, you cannot swim in them if you have open cuts.  Tropical water carries bacteria, and if you swim in the water with open injuries, you may have Leptospirosis.  6. Use Your Skills To Negotiate  You cannot just agree to whatever the boat owner asks you to pay for a ride to Nukulau. You must negotiate the boat fee at the Suva Carrier Stand, which is near the Suva Market.  If you are taking a private fiberglass boat, a return trip will cost you around $80-$100 FJD.  7. Wear Mosquito Repellent  My Suva Park in Suva, or the mangrove areas and rainforest, has mosquitoes. Also, Dengue is a serious concern here.  So, you have to wear mosquito repellent, and you need to spray to get rid of the mosquitoes.  8. Stay Hydrated  The humidity percentage in Suva Rainforest is more than 90%. So, when you are hiking, sweating will be profuse.  If you are hiking for 1 hour or more, you need to carry around 2 liters of water.  Things To Know In Suva, Fiji, If You Want To Travel Like A Local  You have to embrace Suva, Fiji, as it is, if you want to travel like a local. Also, there are some stories, or rather facts, that only locals know. For example, the Dakua trees are native to this place. However, the Mahogany Trees were later introduced to stabilize the soil.  Here is more about the reality checks, about the weather quirks, and the food of Suva if you soak in the true spirit.  1. The Reality Of The Rain Capital  The precipitation of around 3000 millimeters in a year, or a wet tropical climate, makes Suva the rain capital of Fiji.  In Fiji, it rains for more than 200 days a year.  So, if you want to explore Suva, you cannot wait for the Sun to shine bright. You have to embrace the rainforest swimming.  It means that you can get wet while it rains while exploring the rainforest, and do not waste time waiting for the Sun.  2. Picnic Like A Local In Suva, Fiji  If you are on a Suva food tour and want to indulge in the real flavors, you will have to picnic like a local.  Once you are tired after a long swimming session, you must buy a Bhuja or a spicy mix and have it with a long loaf as a snack.  Quirks And Cultural Hidden Gems Of Suva, Fiji Talking about the cultural hidden gems of Suva, Fiji, the first story that comes to my mind is about the Liuliu.  Liulius are the guardians of the waterfalls.  So, when you visit these waterfalls, you must not shout or scream. The guardians can be angry, and they can curse you if you shout and disturb them.  Along with this myth about the Liuliu or guardians, Suva is also known for its Lami vibe. It is at the base of the Mt Korobaba. It is the town that has the perfect fusion of a silent natural retreat and an industrial town.  In addition, the dark past of Nukulau is very intriguing in Suva, Fiji. It was once a quarantine island and later became a prison for coup leaders.  Moreover, this place has a stark contrast between the beautiful sandy beaches and a turbulent past. Thus, it has all the potential of becoming a dark tourism destination.  Do you want to learn more about the culture of this Fijian capital? Read my Suva cultural guide.  Discovering The Real Suva  The primal beauty of Viti Levu, the amber pools of Colo-i-Suva, the mud-slicked trails of Mt. Korobaba, and finding peace in the hidden Korolailai basin!  Also, the Fijian capital asks you to be a little dirty. So, wear your reef shoes, pack your mosquito repellent, and step off the pavement.  Moreover, allow the trees to embrace you and show you the real Suva.  Suva Nature Guide: Frequently Asked Questions And Answers (FAQs) Here are the frequently asked questions and answers about the Suva nature guide.  1.
