 Amalau Valley falls,
Tutuila, national park by sennaya
The are two places to get cool, in the deep ocean water off the reef or in a shaded mountain waterfall.
There are several trails, some official through the park system, and some jsut old paths everybody knows about.
A walk up Matafao Mountain can end in a waterfall over black volcanic rock into a cool pool.

 Lion's head rock, 2 dollar
beach, Tutuila by sennaya
This beach is in Avaio Village in the eastern part of Tutuila and was called 2 dollar beach when we were there. The family always charged 2 dollars per person to use the beach. Maybe now it is $5 beach :)
The US government maps call this Lion's Head Rock, but Ian calls it Pyramid Rock.
The village matai (chief) Sala said it was just the rock at 2 dollar beach. Maybe another name would be the Giant Chia Pet Rock!

if youre in Savaii, the Safua Hotel can contact the master tattooist and ask if anyone is getting tatooed while youre there, OR if 'YOU' want to get tattooed!! Leave a Comment

Lake Lanoto'o the Goldfish lake in the middle of Upolu. We took a cabfrom downtown and then had to hike 2 hours to it, but it was worth it. no one else was there and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. tHe lake is a brilliant pea green, and there are goldfish, no one know how they got there. The lake is a crater lake formed out of an old volcano so no one knows how deep it is, you lose the botton just feet from shore. The lake has alternating warm and cold currents which are erie but cool. I cannot recommend making a day to go here!! Leave a Comment

and PLEASE if you visit American Samoa, get thee out to Manua!! There's a very small B&B (and that's a very loose definition) there that you'll never forget!!! See the picture here to get an idea. This is part of the US National Park system and the only US National Park south of the equator.
in Western Samoa? Get out to Savaii!!!

 My only company on Ofu Beach! by ollyf
An example day that I experienced: Walking to Ofu Beach accompanied by two friendly dogs, snorkelling and swimming amid forests of coral without another human soul in sight, walking all the way to the bridge between Ofu and Olusega, then making my way back to the lodge at dusk while massive fruit bats took to the skies above me.
