Itinerary
8:45 am PIULA CAVE POOL: 45 minutes from Apia this is your first swim; this iconic freshwater spring pool, literally only metres from the ocean, sits beneath a historic church. We swim 25 metres into this, at first somewhat intimidating, cave but the experience at is end is the memory of a lifetime: looking back to the entrance you will be stunned at the colour of your legs underwater = a beautiful lite pastel blue hue!
9:30 am SAUNIATU WATERFALL: 15 minutes from Piula 7 km inland brings you to your second dip under this rarely visited beautiful and pristine waterfall. Here you will be able to experience a few leaps into Sauniatu's deep waters.
10:45 pm TO SUA OCEAN TRENCH: 45 minutes from Sauniatu you arrive at what is unquestionably the nation’s most renowned destination site. Brave the steep descent into the trench and swim 30m through a natural lava tube. Stroll around the lovely gardens and gaze over the beautiful volcanic coast.
12:15 pm VAVAU BEACH Cove, 15 minutes from To Sua, where we will lunch and swim at one of Samoa’s hidden gems (only locals know this beautiful location). Here you will thoroughly enjoy your scrumptious lunch, along with a can of the "Taste of Samoa".
2:00 pm TOGITOGIGA Falls is a half hour drive along the southeastern coast to your final swim. Refresh yourselves in these small but beautiful waterfalls. Take a jump over the falls - if you are game
PAPAPAPAITAI FALLS: Roadside stop to view the spectacular 110m falls, the highest in Upolu.
3.30 pm You arrive back in APIA having completed a highly active but most memorable day in Samoa.

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.
