Dive into Paradise
Located on the southeast coast of Upolu Island, To-Sua Ocean Trench is an experience not to be missed. A true partnership between man-made and the natural world, owners Salati & Samuga Petelo Fiame developed their overgrown, bushy family line to bring forth To-Sua. Translating to ‘giant swimming hole’, To-Sua is an ocean side, rare beauty surrounded by tropical flora. A true piece of paradise.
To-Sua is 30-metres deep and is accessible via a sturdy wooden ladder to a platform where swimmers can dive into the crystal-clear water filled with tropical fish. The pool is fed through a cave that leads out to the ocean washing in refreshingly cool water.
Overlooking the southeast coast of the island with a spectacular view, it’s perfect for wedding ceremonies, photo shoots and celebrations. Other features include a rock pool suitable for children, blow holes, a lava field with great fishing spots and a small beach on the western side called Fagaoneone.

The gorgeous island of Savai’i hosts its own marathon event course each year. The full length marathon starts at the famous Savai’i Lava fields and finishes 42kms later at Salelologa Village. The half marathon course is less challenging but just as fun. The course begins at the coastal village of Pu’apu’a and ends 21kms later at Salelologa Village. The run is scenic and flat for the first 11kms and then the road veers away from the coast for the rest of the race.
