8 Nature & Wildlife Areas in Fiji That You Shouldn't Miss
From the traditional Bobo massages to the therapeutic rays of South Pacific sun, the islands of Fiji offer visitors the ultimate in relaxation. Take a fragrant stroll through the botanical gardens of Nadi before settling in on the beach to watch the sun slip down for the night. Nap in the shade of a Savusavu palm tree, or float in the lagoons of Viti Levu. The waterfalls and lush rainforest of Taveuni Island are peaceful places to commune with nature at your own pace.

Beginning at Lavena village, this guided walk takes you along Taveuni's wild southeastern coastline, past breathtaking views, black sand beaches and beautiful forests.

Beautiful coastal walk, not too challenging. We saw a rare orange dove, thanks to our guide and the waterfall was beautiful and refreshing. It even has a fun natural rockslide on the side, which goes into the pool. If you dont have much time on Taveuni to do everything, I would prioritise this coastal walk. Highly recommended.

Tasting tropical seasonal fruits fresh from the farm.As you walk through the virgin rain forest feeling the cozy atmosphere and at the same time breathing the fresh air. You will surely feel this is the Lost Paradise.

A visit to Bobby’s 100 acre farm was one of the highlights of our visit to Taveuni. It was such an educational tour (being local we thought we knew a lot) and Bobby is so knowledgeable on the flora and fauna and loves to share his knowledge. We learnt about fruits and plants we had never seen before. Along the way we collected and tried fruits and at the end of our walk we had an amazing vegetarian curry banquet prepared by Bobby’s elderly mother. We spent about 4 hours here and this tour of Bobby’s paradise is the real Fiji and felt as though we were with an old friend. I definitely recommend a visit and will be bringing family and friends with me next time.

This magnificent park has something for everyone: a chance to explore waterfalls and forests, swim in a mountain stream, picnic, hike or take a rigorous mountain bike trip.
Reviewed By Jojerie - Atlanta, United States
A group of 6 of us stayed overnight in Abaca village. They day we arrived, we hiked to the waterfall where we got to have a refreshing swim - it felt so good, the waterfall was so powerful (you should see the wind blowing from it!), and the hike itself wasn't bad. I was glad we had a guide though - Simmi was able to lead the way, show us where not to walk (bc it was pretty slippery in some places), and he even showed us a rock to jump off of in a different area! That when we returned, the villagers were playing volleyball, which they invited us to play, then had a delicious dinner. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing. The next morning we hiked to the top of Mt. Koroyanitu . Bring water/hat and put on sunscreen because the first half is in the sun! Again, Simmi was our guide. He took us to one side that had a great view overlooking Lautoka, then walked past where the cabin is on the mountain for a view looking over Nadi (you want to do this in the morning though because clouds come in and block your view in the afternoon). We made multiple stops and enjoyed ourselves at the top for quite some time, so I'd say that it probably took us around 4 hours total. I was confused on how to organize all this (and luckily some Trip Adviser reviews helped), so here's what I found since we didn't want to do it through a travel company (we wanted to be sure our money went to the village). Lodging: I called Kalesi (7365419) who lives in the village to let her know that there was going to be 6 of us coming and we would like to stay in the village. You can also stay at the lodge or on the mountain. You could also call Pau (7193194) who lives there as well. She asked if we needed a truck to pick us up from Lautoka, but I declined. By staying in the village, it included our meals: dinner, breakfast, and lunch (which the lodge and mountain top stay wouldn't include). The lodge's housing has bunk beds and it sleeps 12. The overnight stay on the mountain is basically 1 room with some beds. It has everything you need to cook, you just have to bring your own food up there. When you stay in the village, you stay with a family and they had rooms set aside in their huts for visitors to stay in. Getting there: We took a taxi from Nadi to Lautoka and ate lunch there. Here's 2 numbers that will take you to & from Abaca: 9058505 / 9897346. These are 2 different guys (but they know each other). We called 1, he said $100 FJD, called the other to price compare, he said $80, called the other back, he gave us $70 (these are all round trip prices). Turned out the other guy came (the other guy called him), tried to make us pay the higher amount, but we got him to stick to the $70. [If you need more options, I found 2 other numbers on Trip Advisor - 9911197 (we didn't try this one) and 8676532 (out of service, so don't try it lol).] We rode in the back of a covered pickup truck - not the most comfortable thing, but it did the trick! He was even on time for the return trip. I recommend having the guide for the hikes, it just makes it easier and you have someone to ask questions to. He showed us things we definitely would've missed otherwise. The total cost of our stay (food, lodging, guide, park fee) was $175 FJD per person. Kalesi didn't have a written breakdown of the price, but a guide for the mountain is $30 FJD, to the waterfall is $20 FJD, and the park fee was $15 FJD to give you an idea. We brought our own water into the village. I don't know what water the villagers drink. One girl didn't bring enough and she ended up drinking from a stream towards the top of the mountain (she didn't get sick so it must be ok!). Definitely do this. It helps support a village and heritage park and allows you to get to know some locals. The views are beautiful!

We vistied the park as a family, Mr 10 and Miss 7 loved it, they got to hold an iguna and a boa constrictor, and hand feed turtles,which was amazing, they got to see different types of birds, and had a great time in the splash pool. Unfortunely we did not do the zip line or the water slide but we still had a great day out.
6. Nausori Highlands

Reviewed By singhShivy - Viti Levu, Fiji
I heard a lot about this place and was warned that the road is not safe. But we set on a cross country journey with my dad. Went through the Sigatoka Valley Road and came right from the Nausori Highlands Road. This is the road least traveled with no road signs hence recommended for 4 wheel drives. You just have to trust your navigation skills as the area does not have network at places and the villages are located were far away. We did had to stop and ask for directions in few villages. But it all was all worth it. The view from the Nausori highland is worth the travel. We spotted out 2 or 3 waterfalls but they were quite off the road. Be ware of the wild horses that just run upon seeing the vehicle. Worth a trip to see the interior of Vitilevu.

Take a dip in one of the natural swimming pools, follow a nature trail and keep your ears and eyes ready to spot the numerous birds that inhabit this park.
Reviewed By DavidDennisNZ - Auckland Central, New Zealand
We caught the local bus from the market in Suva and got off outside. We paid the minimal fee to get in and walked in. One of the local workers guided us and we had a fantastic walk through the rainforest. It is very wet and you really need to wear safety shoes or something solid as it gets muddy etc. That was part of what I liked about it, the rawness of it. Lots of places to swim along the way and at the end a big pool where a lot of locals and tourists were swimming and jumping of a swinging rope. Definitely worth the excursion
