Alofaaga Blowholes
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.

Best stays in Savai'i, Samoa
Savai'i is the second-largest island in Polynesia and Samoa's quiet half — most travellers spend two or three nights here on a Samoa trip. Accommodation is mostly family-run: traditional beach fales along the coast, a handful of mid-range resorts, and a few eco-lodges set back from the road.
Things to do in Samoa: tours, activities, and day trips
Samoa rewards travellers who get out of the resort. Most of the iconic photos (To-Sua, Lalomanu, Alofaaga blowholes, the canopy walk) are 60–90-minute drives from wherever you're staying — and the easiest way to see them is on a guided tour with a local operator who knows the village fees and the best swimming windows.
