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 .
