Surf Coast
Savaii’s surf coast offers world class surfing. Consistent waves with a good swell, un-crowded and all a short paddle out. Here you will also find beautiful beaches and great swimming and snorkelling. The wild south coast and volcanic landscape has created an extraordinary landscape including the exciting Alofaaga blowholes. The surf coast is also home to the beautiful relaxing Afu Aau waterfall and swimming holes. Accommodation is available in standard resorts and beach fales.
Alofaaga Blowholes
Some of the world’s more spectacular blowholes are located at Taga. When there is a strong swell from the south the water sprays up in a massive plume. Locals will for a small fee throw coconuts into the blowhole and these can be shot 60 or so metres into the air.

Afu Aau Waterfalls and Pools
The beautiful Afu Aau Waterfall has crystal clear water running from the main waterfall into a large freshwater swimming hole fringed with ferns and tropical vegetation. The cool freshwater then flows into several smaller waterfalls and pools. The series of pools is a great place for a swim, a picnic or just to sit quietly and contemplate nature. Occasionally, during dry periods the waterfall stops running, but the pool is always a lovely spot for a swim.
