Waisali
RAINFOREST RESERVE
Vanua Levu’s Pristine Forest
The Waisali Rainforest Reserve is one of the few remaining unexploited forests on Fiji’s second largest island – Vanua Levu. Co-managed by the Waisali Community and the National Trust of Fiji, the Reserve is an important education and recreational centre for both local and international visitors.
FAUNA
You may be fortunate to see or hear the red breasted musk parrot, or the beautiful orange dove – both endemic and rare bird species. Also present are the curiously striking endangered Fiji Ground Frogs and the startling endemic Fiji Tree Frogs. Surveys recorded 14 species of bird and the native tree frog (Platymantis vitiensis). It is likely that a further 20 bird species, Fiji boa, and some species of bats and lizards may be found.
Lower Pool
Before commencing the climb back towards the Visitor Information Centre, take time to rest in the bure beside the lower rock pool which is part of the Savuqoro Creek. Seven finfish species, eel, prawn and freshwater snails, all native, have been recorded in the Reserve. The Reserve freshwater fauna are unique so the pool is kept undisturbed and is not suitable for swimming.
