  • If you have a couple of hours you dont mind spending off the beaten path go to The waterfall near Sauniatu. To get there you must have a 4WD to get up the gravel road from Falefa on the Main East Road. It is hard to find due to heavy overgrowth, but ask someone on the way and they gladly hop on and show you the way. This small waterfall is nice due to its overgrowth and inaccesibilty.

    There is supposed to be woodcarvings of Samoan Legends in this area, but the guy who showed me the way did not know about this, or perhaps would not show me. I guess there was not many visitors up here and that they may have wanted to keep the sacred place a secret. Try to find it if you're there and are lucky.

    Have a look at my Waterfals of Upolu travelogue for more scenic waterfalls.
