What about Swimming in Three of Upolu’s Cave Pools and Lava Tube Destinations; a combination of some of Samoa’s most iconic and unusual attraction sites.

Fresh and salt water swims in Piula Cave Pool, To Sua Ocean Trench & Vaiula Cave Pool. Nothing as challenging or claustrophobic as serious cave-diving but our absolutely unique, exciting and fun excursion will stir your adrenaline.

On the way home we have a roadside stop to view Upolu’s highest waterfall, Papapapaitai Falls at 110m.

  • Piula Cave Pool
    8:40am. Only metres from the ocean swim in the freshwater spring pool sitting beneath a historic church. Swim 25 metres into the cave and sit on a natural ledge at the end. There is enough natural light once your eyes adjust. Looking back toward the entrance a remarkable phenomenon makes your submerged legs appear a tint of cyan blue.
  • To Sua Ocean Trench
    10:00am. Unquestionably the nation’s most renown destination site. Brave the steep descent into the trench and swim the tidal waters 30m through a natural tunnel to the lesser second trench. Stroll around the lovely gardens and gaze over the beautiful volcanic coast.
  • Tafa Tafa Beach
    12:00am. Lovely and quieter beach setting for a delicious focaccia tuna sandwich lunch and snacks where our guide engages with the chief according to village custom, before equipping everyone with head lamp or flashlight in preparation for our tour of the cave pool.
  • 12:45pm. VAIULA CAVE POOL A short hike through the jungle to the hidden entrance. The journey through the 150m long lava tube is fascinating. After descending into the “cave” we encounter some nice horizontal sections and minor talus slope, occasionally requiring one to bend down to avoid scraping one’s head. Finally, the pool, where the water is so absolutely pure and crystal clear. Swim 10 – 15m to where the tube dives underwater.
  • Papapapaitai Falls
    2:25pm PAPAPAPAITAI FALLS Roadside stop to view the spectacular 110m falls.
  • Apia
    3:00 pm After a 30-minute drive you arrive back in APIA having completed a highly active but most memorable day in Samoa. TOTAL DRIVING TIME IS APPROX. 3 HRS.
