Samoa

A stretch of volcanic coastline on Savai'i's southwest shore where the sea is forced through lava tubes and crevices, producing dramatic spray eruptions that can reach fifteen metres or more.

The compact capital of Samoa, set around a natural harbour on Upolu's north coast, combining a lively waterfront market, colonial-era buildings, churches and access to nearby beaches and historical sites.

A sweep of pale sand on Upolu's southeast coast, widely rated as one of the finest beaches in the Pacific, fronted by reef-protected turquoise water and backed by palm groves and small resorts.

Samoa's first national park, covering 28 square kilometres on Upolu's southern coast, spanning coastal cliffs, lowland rainforest and volcanic peaks, with marked walking tracks and native wildlife.

A forty-metre waterfall in the central highlands of Upolu, surrounded by tropical forest and reached by a marked walking track; one of Samoa's most visited natural attractions.

A vast ocean-side sinkhole on Upolu's southeast coast, 30 metres deep, accessible by a 30-metre ladder into a turquoise tidal pool connected to the sea.
