Sopoaga Falls, Upolu, Samoa (1080HD)
For more great information, photos and video about Samoa, see PleaseTakeMeTo's Samoa Travel Guide -
The Sopaga Falls are just off Le Mafa Pass Road, towards southeastern Upolu, about 40 minutes drive from Apia.
The falls are quite powerful and plunge into a vast gorge surrounded by spectacular jungle.
The falls are overlooked by a beautiful garden and picnic site which is an excellent place to stop for lunch.
Access to the site overlooking the falls, which requires paying a small fee, is through Lotofagu village which is also surrounded by beautiful, often brightly coloured gardens well worth taking a little extra time to look through as well.

SOPOAGA FALLS + COCONUT HUSKING
On our way back along the Main South Coast Road we came across the Sopoaga Falls.
These are just off the road, so well worth stopping. While there you are given a coconut husking demonstration...this is quite interesting and the fresh coconut is yummy...but when it is finished the request for money comes.

This is a series of very pretty cascading waterfalls in the village of Saleilua, not far away from Le Pupu Pue National Park in the south east of Upolu about an hour's drive from Apia.
Swimming holes separate the falls and are surrounded by lush tropical gardens. This is a popular picnicing and swimming spot and has its own changing rooms and toilets.

10 Things NOT To Do in Samoa
Get more Tips here!
The Samoan islands are surrounded by miles of pristine beaches, crystal blue ocean, and dazzling reef. But keep in mind that Samoa is a conservative country, and you should do your research ahead of time. Here’s our list of 10 things you should NOT in Samoa.
1. Don’t Stay Standing
When it’s time to get down to business, you’ll notice that Samoans all sit down on the floor to engage in discussion. It’s also considered rude to eat or drink while you’re standing.
2. Don’t Indulge in Kava
It’s customary to take part in the kava ceremony. This narcotic brew is made with the roots of a pepper plant, and the cup of liquid is passed around for everyone to sip and enjoy. Overindulging in the drink can decrease your reaction times and motor coordination.
3. Don’t forget to brush up on the Culture
Samoan Cultural Village and Knowledgeable guides will take you around through different exhibits where you’ll be given a fun history lesson. You’ll also be taught coconut weaving, watch an entertaining dance performance, and be treated to a traditional meal cooked over an earth oven.
4. Don’t Underestimate a Beach Fale
A fale is a hut on the beaches. You can actually rent one and wake up to the waves crashing right at your feet. These handmade structures range from simple to luxurious, but to get a true experience, you’ll definitely want to stay in the old school version made of wood and dried coconut fiber.
5. Don’t Leave the Water Without Your Lava Lava
After soaking up some sun on the beach, make sure to cover up with a lava lava afterward. It’s similar to a sarong, and it basically covers up your body so that you don’t offend the locals. And keep in mind, the lava lava is worn by both men and women.
6. Don’t Forget to Pay Taefu T Matafeo Store a Visit
Between Salelologa and the north coast, you’ll find a tiny establishment called Taefu T Matafeo Store. Inside, you can sip on some of the best espressos ever, while nibbling on homemade cakes. They also serve up light fare, including kimchi, and they have more than enough icy beer to go around.
7. Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls…Just Joking
Samoa’s backdrop is rich with gorgeous tropical forests that are home to some of the most stunning waterfalls. On Upolu Island, you will find Sopoaga Waterfall at the foot of Lotofaga Village. At the base of the falls, you can also take part in an umu demonstration and coconut husking.
8. Don’t Be Surprised by Beach Fees
In Samoa, the majority of the beaches are owned by families and villages, and they charge visitors a small fee (from 5 to 20 tala) to swim, take photos on the beach, or even wander around the sand. If you’re staying at a resort, you won’t have to worry about this fee at all.
9. Don’t Visit the National Museum on Weekends
This museum should definitely be at the top of your itinerary, but make sure you stop by during the week, because they’re closed on weekends. You can send a special request to ask that they open their doors for you on a Saturday or Sunday, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll honor it.
10. Don’t Enter During Prayer
Prayer sessions can happen frequently, and if you find that you’ve arrived at someone’s home during a prayer, wait outside until it is finished. If you’re inside their home at the time the prayer’s set to take place, you’ll be expected to take part in the service as well.
Sopoaga Waterfall and Sign
Another sweep of the falls focusing more on the views around the sign.

Samoa Waterfalls
These are just some of the many waterfalls of Upolu, Samoa. Upolu is the smaller of the two islands that are the independent country of Samoa, located in the South Pacific. It is the most populated island of the two with 135,000 people. Savai’i is the larger of the two islands located to the west of Upolu. Tutuila Island better known to the west as, American Samoa. Is located to the east of Upolu
Uplolu is a beautiful island full of the friendliest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I look forward to returning someday to explore more of the island and experience more of the culture.
