Piula Cave Pool
Piula
Clear freshwater pools fed by a spring beneath the Piula Theological College. You can swim into a rock cave, separated from the sea by only a wall, with cool, transparent water.
The Piula Cave Pool lies on the north coast of Upolu near the village of Falefa, beneath the white church of the Methodist Piula Theological College. Clear freshwater springs flow out of rock caves to form two connected pools. Brave swimmers can dive through an underwater passage into another cave, and small fish live in the water. Entry costs about 5 tala, and there are changing rooms. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Apia and can be combined with the trip along the eastern north coast. Note: it is closed on Sundays, and the caves are dark, so take care when diving.
