Not terribly well signposted, but worth seeking out. Ladder is daunting to get down, but absolutely worth the effort. Crystal clear water and a magic experience. Highlight of our trip to Samoa.

To Sua isn't just a swimming hole, but a lovely place to spend the day or a few hours. This place has lovely gardens and a stunning cliff top view of the coast. The ladder climb down can be a bit daunting, but it is sturdy and secure.
With breathtaking landscaped gardens, this was a definite highlight to our samoan adventure. The water was perfect and clear and seem to be quite an attraction for the tourists. If swimming in the trench isn't your thing, you can sit under one of the many fales or just walk around and admire the beautiful gardens.
That trench isn't as dangerous...

A friend recommended this as a 'must do' on Upolu and I wholeheartedly agree! The water is beautiful clear and a lovely temperature. Not a lot of fish to look at, so snorkels really not needed. If you have an underwater ca,era I would definitely bring it as you could get some cool pics! Tide was changing so we were...

This is a must do if you are into jumping off things into deep water. Exhilarating and well worth the climb.
Must do. Go early and enjoy the marine pool on your own. Relaxed and well maintained garden with good changing and basic toilet/shower facilities. The stairs down look more dangerous than they are. Even for a heavy fear-of-height kinda fellow it was easier than it seemed from upstairs.
The trench AMAZING! It is really well looked after by the village, the grounds are beautiful and the view overlooking the cliff is stunning, you can also walk to the blowholes. Definately a must see. You can climb down into the trench and swim in the crystal clear water.
This was one of the highlights of my trip over Easter. A truly beautiful hidden gem. The ladder is very steep so may be a problem if you're afraid of heights like I am BUT what made me climb down is the beautiful water that awaits. Highly recommend!
Situated on the coast in Upolu Samoa is this amazing place. It is in very well kept gardens and the trench itself is reached by a ladder. It is scary and can be slippery if wet from eihter rain or previous swimmers. The Gardens and beach views are outstanding as well. Well worth the 15 Tala entrance fee
The beautifully manicured grounds of Sua foreshadow the incredible deep trench. Climb down into the trench and bath in its crystal clear water. I thought I'd spend an hour or so at Sua but its beauty held me for many hours!
