My wife and I had a lovely morning eacaping into the Colo-I-Suva Forest Park. Peter was a very friendly and informative guide, and a few hours in the rainforest was a very peaceful way to pass the time. Would definitely recommend!

A nice tour of waterfalls and Suva attractions

Adiel_A, Jan 2026

It was a very nice tour. First the waterfalls. Later Joel took us to Fiji museum and near park. We enjoyed it much.

Horrible, uncomfortable, not recommended.

Elizabeth_G, Jan 2026

This tour was pretty awful. I booked it as a ~30 year old solo traveler, and received a message saying that the minimum was 2 to book, so I could either cancel or join a group of 4. I requested to join the group of 4. I should have cancelled. I got a message saying pickup was at 12:30. At 12:06, I got a call saying the driver had arrived and I was late. I rushed out of the hotel and got in the car, at which point we drove to the cruise ship terminal and sat there about 30 minutes waiting. We then drove to Colo-I-Suva park, where we waited another 20 minutes before I was asked to transfer from the car to a bus. There were ~10 people on the bus and every one was about 65-80 years old and said they were not going to be walking or swimming. We then drove into the park and then commenced on the slowest walk ever over about .5 kilometers given the geriatric age and speed of the rest of the people to a small waterfall. The guide stopped once to point out a termite mound in a tree base. After one photograph we immediately walked back to the bus. In the parking lot I was told that I shouldn’t have been allowed to book the tour as a solo traveler. The male guide said that they had specially accommodated me and asked if I wanted to do the short or long hike. I said long. The female guide said that we would do the short one. The male guide said that we could do whatever I wanted. The car I had originally come in now showed back up with four additional elder people, who were really upset because they’d apparently been left at the cruise terminal by the bus. I sat there while the guides tried to smooth things over, but accepted no responsibility for leaving early. I then was instructed to get back into the car with the female guide. We drove further into the park and then took a very short walk to another waterfall and pool. The guide was extremely out of shape and was breathing heavily and walking very slowly even though it was quite a short and not-very-steep trail. When we got to the waterfall, I was the only non-local there and received stares and glares from ~40 or so people. I don’t think that they should have welcomed me - I think that the guide should not have taken me into a local space without local consent. I asked to leave almost immediately and we walked back to the car in silence. The guide then told me that we were going to join the bus and tour the town of Nausori. I told her that I had booked a Colo-I-Suva nature and waterfall tour, and if we couldn’t do that I just wanted to go back to the hotel. There are 6+ km of trails and multiple waterfalls and pools in Colo-I-Suva. I highly recommend you get a taxi in and explore it yourself. This tour was truly horrible, ill managed, and uncomfortable. I especially disliked how they made it seem like my fault for booking as a solo traveler, and that they were specially accommodating me, when they were the ones who said I could join the other group - except it turned out that group was on a completely different itinerary than the one advertised here.

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We value your input and want to address your concerns. Before your trip, we reached out to confirm whether you would like to join another travel group or if you preferred to cancel. You chose to join the group, and we facilitated this arrangement. After noticing your dissatisfaction, we promptly arranged for a private guide and driver based on your initial booking. We understand you then opted for the shorter itinerary. While we strive to provide a great experience, we recognize that river conditions were not ideal. Unfortunately, we cannot control natural elements, but we appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Unsafe conditions, hazardous mistakes, unfortunate consequences

Jay_G, Apr 2025

We had a delayed start due to medical emergency being handed by peter. Once we got to the hiking area, we had another 45 minute delay, waiting for Peter once again. Our driver (Gerry) decided to Take our small group of four into the trails by himself. At one point, we were led on to a path that was impassable and unsafe and we were forced to backtrack. While on the unsafe, impassible trail, one of our group members fell and injured her shoulder. This shoulder injury required medical attention upon returning to the ship. A nearly five hundred dollar charge was incurred for medical attention and x rays. Continued care and imaging will be required at the end of our vacation. it is suspected that there is soft Tissue damage to the shoulder area. There was massive confusion regarding our itinerary after the hike. A confirmation email was sent the night before that included many more stops after the hike. But we were told that was sent to us in error. If this was our first Viator experience, we would never go on another. A refund and reimbursement of medical expenses is expected.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Jay, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely regret to hear about the challenges you faced during your recent private waterfalls tour, and we want to extend our sincerest apologies for the distress and inconvenience caused. We would like to clarify that this was a privatenature waterfalls tour, which was clearly described in the tour details provided prior to booking. The hike is set in a natural jungle environment, and while we strive to maintain safety and accessibility, the terrain can be rugged and occasionally impacted by weather and other natural conditions. On the day of your tour, we unfortunately encountered an unforeseen medical emergency involving one tourist who needed medical attention, which caused a delayed start. We understand how this affected your experience and sincerely apologize for the impact it had on your itinerary. ery sorry to hear that one of your group members was injured on the trail. Safety is our top priority, and we take any incident of this nature extremely seriously. We are currently reviewing the trail conditions and the specific events of that day to ensure appropriate actions are taken to prevent future occurrences. Regarding the confusion with the itinerary: the confirmation email you received mistakenly included details from a different, extended tour package. We regret this error and understand how it could have led to unmet expectations. We have already taken steps to improve our communication and booking processes to avoid such discrepancies in the future. We truly value your feedback and the opportunity to make things right. Although this experience did not meet your expectations, we hope you will give us a chance to restore your trust.

Excellent tour but use water shoes to do this hike

Mavis_S, Jan 2025

Excellent tour company! The forest was only around 25 mins from the cruise ship terminal. Walking through the forest was actually better with water shoes and there were several areas that our runners were totally submerged in the flowing river. The swimming pools were nice but a bit murkey.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for this review, Mavis, It has been a pleasure and pure joy to have toured you, and we hope to see you back in Fiji.

Lovely time in Fiji

Great day out, don't miss this one-highly recommend

Margaret_P, Dec 2022

A very memorable day with our guide Janet who picked us up spot on time and took us to the top of the waterfall. She was very caring with us being an active 70's couple however, wouldn't let us go further than she thought safe. A very knowledgeable lady and we had a lot of fun together. Don't miss this one, a wonderful four hours of your time

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you so much, Margaret, It was a pleasure touring you. we hope to see you in Fiji again soon.

Peter my guide was very...

Debbie_B, Aug 2022

Peter my guide was very interesting to talk to. He was very careful with regards to my safety pointing out the parts that were slippery. There is climbing involved, the pathways are a little bit neglected due to no income for 2.5 years by those who look after the park. but they are trying to get them back in shape. It was very warm and humid, very few birds were down at our level. But you get the experience of what walking through the dense forested highlands of Fiji would be. Peter went out if his way for me.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you so much, dear Debbie, It was an amazing experience touring you. you were very kind to us. Thank you so much for your review and we look forward to touring you in the near future.

Excursion magnifique dans...

JeanPierre_A, Feb 2025

Excursion magnifique dans un décor sauvage et à l’écart du monde. La baignade dans le bassin était à la fois rafraîchissante et très agréable. Enfin, nous avons particulièrement apprécié notre guide Joël.
