This spectacular waterfall in South-eastern Savai’ i, plunges from the rainforest deep into a fresh-water swimming pool. Access is on a dirt road which is maintained by the local village.
The pool is very deep but gets shallow towards the outer rim. The waterfall eventually flows into three other smaller separate falls offering a truly enchanting experience for visitors.
Entrance fees are collected at the Samoan fale about 650 metres from the main road. Park your car here and enjoy the 10 minute walk to the pool and waterfall. There are no lifeguards here, so take extra precaution when swimming.
These impressive blowholes in the village of Taga on the south west coast can provide you with hours of fun! They pump the ocean swell through the side of a cliff, into a cavity and propel a roaring jet of water hundreds of feet into the air- the sheer power is absolutely unbelievable!
They are particularly worth watching when the locals throw coconuts into the holes and these are blasted effortlessly into the air. Best viewed in swimwear as you’ re guaranteed to get wet and a waterproof camera is a must-bring item for this attraction.
