Awesome marine life and plenty of live coral with beautiful colours. I advise you that snorkelling at low tide is best as the currents are weakest and easier to navigate around. Also the snorkelling equipment is a little average but if you can bring your own you will guarentee a more enjoyable experience.
Its a great place to go and not just for the snorkeling, you can just lie around on the beach in the little beach fales and have fresh water showers, the snorkeling is good to great and if you have never snorkeled before this is a great place to start, I love Palolo deep.
make sure you swim as far as the reef before giving up. definitely suggest water shoes if you dont have flippers and other footwear on the beach also due to sharp coral etc
While it is only 4 Tala to visit I really don't think it was worth it. A lot of the coral around Samoa is dead and there was not a lot to see that we couldn't find outside our resort.
Bit of a swim out required - so flippers are a must.Plenty of live coral and fish once you get out.Well worth the effort.
Getting into the water when the tide was starting to come in was a bit challenging but once at start (150m offshore) it was worth it! Once there there was no current - lots of fish and interesting coral that I haven't seen in other countries...The plus side was when I was swimming back to shore it took no effort at all.
Brilliant! One of the best snorkelling spots we found, and also by far the cheapest!There was plenty of beautiful coral and different fish to see! Initially the swim/walk out there isn't so inspiring, but it is absolutely worth it once you are out there!
Was lots of fun but kind of felt a wee bit dangerous. One local encouraged me to go down the larger slide (which no one was doing). It looked pretty dodgy so I chickened out. Which was lucky as afterwards the same local said the river was really low and was probably good not to have done it! I got the feeling that health and safety is pretty lax in Samoa so my advice is be careful and use your instincts!
Fantastic beach - aside from the choral. Beach shoes would be a good option. A beautiful place - lots of huge trees for shade, great toilet facilities and the snorkelling was great. So much colour. Highly recommended. Take your own equipment if you can because the ones for hire (from 4 tala to 7 tala) aren't great. No playing music on a Sunday - we got a big telling off from an eldery man there.
a few more touches from the caretakers of the beach would make this place a truly nice experience. Its all fine once you get in the water. The edge of a deep bowl on the left side of the snorkeling area is really nice, with more fish and space. Fish are not abundant, but the corals are great.
