Colo-I-Suva Forest Park & Nature Walks: fee FJ$5
Once a true tropical lowland rainforest, has been inter-planted with mahogany. Within the park are 3 pools developed as swimming area with the ever popular main pool with its rope swing. All other pools remain in their natural state.

The park is a birdwatchers delight. Observe the Fiji Goshawk a bird you only find in Fiji. Or, the Blue Crested Broadbill found only in the Viti Levu rainforest. Or you may hear the deep hollow call of the Barking Pigeon, a bird widely hunted but safe here.

The forest park is between 400ft - 600ft above sea level and is therefore cooler and slightly wetter than Suva. It gets about 167in of rain a year - mostly during the wet months of November - March.

Fiji Museum: entry fee FJ$4
The most comprehensive collection of Fijian artifacts in existence. It is a wealth of material covering the entire spectrum of pre-European material culture, weapons, cooking utensils, masi cloth, canoes, decorative items and personal ornaments and ceremonial items used for religious purposes.
