Samoa is home to people proud of their strong cultural heritage living in harmony alongside this natural beauty. Its these people and the culture that give life to the islands.

Samoa is home to To-Sua Ocean Trench. “To-Sua” translated means “giant swimming hole” and that’s exactly what it is, a 98-foot deep natural pool located on the southeast coast of Upolu Island and is one of the most photographed blue water holes in the world. This rare natural wonder sits directly in the middle of a volcano. High on the island close to its coast and is fed by water from the ocean through a cave on the islands edge. Visitors can relax the day away in its crystal clear waters, and the adventurous can jump off the tall sides of the pool into the waters below.
