Tour Itinerary:
Start your day with a beautiful scenic drive along the north eastern coast of Upolu stopping at Falefa Village for a photo stop at
Cathedral. Drive through Le Mafa Pass (1,700 feet above sea level). The Pass has breathtaking views of the northern shorelines
and travel through lush green forests, plantations and traditional Samoan villages. A stop of Sopoaga Botanical Gardens and
waterfalls where you will experience a coconut husking demonstration. The next stop is the famous To Sua Ocean Trench at
Lotofaga Village. To Sua translates as 'Big Hole' and is a natural and deep swimming hole surrounded by lush tropical foliage and
colourful gardens. In order to access the water, you will need to climb down the steep ladder for a refreshing swim and back up
again! It's all part of the fun but for those who don't wish to swim, you can enjoy the beautiful surrounds including a small cove
or relax in one of the garden fales with stunning ocean views. Travel on to the pristine white sand Lalomanu Beach where you
will have time to snorkel and swim or just relax on the beach or in one of the sheltered fales. A succulent BBQ lunch will be
served at the beach. After lunch, the return trip to Apia is via the south western part of the island; a scenic trip via rainforests,
plantations and mountains. As you descend towards the township you can enjoy fantastic coastal views of Apia township.
