About this guide
Volcanic vents in the basalt shelf at Taga village on Savai'i's south-west coast, where each big swell forces seawater 20+ metres into the air. Locals will toss a coconut into the smaller hole on a good day so you can watch it rocket skyward. Best on incoming tide with a southerly swell — the bigger the surf, the bigger the show.
