Why Samoa you ask? Because simply, we are worth it. Nestled in the Paradise, South Pacific, Samoa is north east of Fiji. As you’ve always imagined, Upolu & Savai'i, or Samoa in general for that matter is similar to other Pacific Islands. It's tropical climates and breathtaking beaches and landscapes will just melt your heart for the day. Samoa is a manageable two island country where you will literally find that the streets have no names, no surprise there, as many other South Pacific island countries are the same. What’s the difference you ask? Experts (STA, Samoa) describes it: "Scenically, we offer an eclectic mix of natural riches that extend far beyond white sand beaches and blue lagoons".
Of course, there are plenty of those, with great fishing, diving and surfing all year-round. You can take yourself around for half a day and enjoy all this. or hire an expert to show you around, there are a few excursion companies you can hire and take a half-day excursion down the tip of the east coast, down to idyllic and prestine Lalomanu Beach. Or take a shorter drive from Apia to Piula Cave Pools Piula is a fresh water pool, nicely hidden but within the premises of a beautifully laid-out picturesque small village setting for the Methodist Theological college. It's crystal clear waters and cool water temperature would be welcoming and refreshing in the warm Samoan sun.
A turn inland 4 minutes before Piula caves is the much desired swimming waters of Sauniatu Waterfall, the 7km drive inland from Saoluafata village offers mountain landscapes with a farming village scenery. At the end of your drive is the LDS Church compound and Primary School. A grassy path will lead you to a refreshing freshwater swimming hole and waterfall. Sauniatu's mountainous rainforest setting is ideal for birdwatchers and folks who appreciate deep forestry surroundings.
Just a short drive from Piula Pools, you will arrive to your second waterfall, Falefa Falls, a short fall that you take a staircase down to for pictures and a swim if desired. Keep driving for a further 10 minutes and you will find the turn off to Fagaloa Bay, a mountainous winding drive with waterfall backdrops that takes your breath away. Back on your original drive and in another 10 minutes, you will come to the cross island road closer to the eastern tip, take this cross taking you from the north end to the south and not long, you will witness in short distances from eachother Sopoaga Waterfalls and Fusipisia Waterfalls, both are a spectacular watch not to miss.
After the beautiful waterfall sites, let us take you a little further towards the south coast to the ever popular and breathtaking delights of To Sua Ocean Trench. A 'must see and do' when you are in Samoa. To Sua means, "Gigantic Swimming Hole", you will be climbing down a 30 meters well from ground level to the trench. The pool is located in the district of Lotofaga. It is situated in a well maintained, beautiful garden park overlooking the southeast coast of the island. It is open to all visitors and described by many travel writers as the one spot in Samoa not to miss.
The sites mentioned above are my favourite spots to visit, and there are plenty other exciting sites in Samoa to see such as the island of Savaii where you can swim with turtles, take the exciting Canopy walk, visit the large footprint of Moso, feel the thrills of the blow holes, see the last sunset of the day in Falealupo, learn the mysteries of the Lava fields and the Virgin's grave, and much more. Upolu island being the gateway to Samoa offers other exciting attractions such as the Robert Louis Stevenson's museum just a 15 minute drive from Apia township, Papase'ea Sliding Rocks, the black sandy beaches of the south coast, the Luatuanu'u and Siumu surfing sites, feed the turtles at Malua, plus much much more.
