Itinerary
8:00am Pick up at central Apia accommodation and a short drive up the Cross Island Road.
The road to the track gets rough toward the end and we'll get as close as we can before venturing out on foot. After arriving at the end of the 4wd track we start to ascend the crater - a steep hike, sometimes wet and slippery but well worth the effort. Swimming and snacks at the lake before returning on the trail and back to the car for lunch before returning to Apia.
Return to meeting point or be dropped off in Apia.
Cancellation
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts, for a full refund.

About Upolu
Upolu is the main island of Samoa, a green volcanic island of waterfalls, a sea trench and white-sand beaches around the capital, Apia.
Upolu is the second-largest island of Samoa but home to most of its people, with the capital, Apia, on its north coast. A mountainous spine of forest runs along the island, falling to a coast of coral reefs, black-rock headlands and white-sand beaches. Robert Louis Stevenson spent his last years in a house on the slopes above Apia, now a museum, and is buried on the summit of Mount Vaea.
