Following that a brief visit to our very colorful Salelologa market, then we head off down the south coast.
This drive will take you through several small coastal villages and lush rainforest area. Stops are made at various natural attractions and areas of historical significance.

Natural tubes in lava rock meeting the ocean allow for ocean swells to shoot water in jet streams as high as 30 meters into the air. Heading back into Salelologa stops are made at the Satupaitea springs and eventually our beautiful Afuaáu falls where a rock pool at the base of a waterfall allows for a swimming break. Lunch will be provided here.

The Tafua crater is an easy 30 minute walk up to the first crater base, with an additional semi-difficult 30 minute tramp up to the top. Views from the crater rims are quite spectacular and if you are lucky you may get to glimpse the diurnal Samoan flying fox which have made their home in the crater base which is now overgrown with rainforest.
