Togitogiga Waterfall

A beautiful dual-tiered waterfall, the Togitogiga Waterfall (or Togitogiga Falls), seemed like the perfect place to cool off from the oppressive humidity of a place like Samoa. A few miles from the O Le Pupu Pue National Park, in the village of Saleilua, is where you'll find this waterfall. There are facilities and change areas, and it's a well-liked swimming area and picnic area. For those with their own equipment, there is also a leisure area suited for sports like rugby and volleyball.

Even more amenities at the falls include a few picnic areas and a stream gauge upstream of the falls. The great Samoan warriors of old are said to have utilized the fall as a bathing hole. The wet season, which typically lasts from November to April, is the finest period for viewing and swimming. Even if the locals want every visitor to pay a "entry" charge, it is clear that whatever they choose is well worth it since this particular natural beauty is unlike anything else. These falls are only a short walk from where you park the vehicles though the road is quite rough to get there.
