who apparently still live in its depths, and leave the occasional footprint. It’s said that
no one – except maybe the dwarves – has reached the end of it, and your guides (the village matai
or local boys) will keep leading you through its prodigious depths, crossed by underground rivers,
until you tell them to turn around.The cave is signposted off the Main North Coast Rd,

2. Paolo deep national marine reserve Just 5 minutes’ walk from the centre of Samoa’s
capital the pale, sandy beach stretches out, fringed with palms and lapped by crystal clear
water. It’s easy enough to imagine: another day in paradise! Then you dive in—swim out from the shore
and over the reef and discover another world. Welcome to one of Samoa’s best kept secrets: the
unique natural beauty that is Palolo Deep. Palolo Deep is a protected marine reserve just outside
Apia, on the island of Upolu. Once you swim across the shallow reef, the ground drops away to form
a natural aquarium. Walls of vibrantly-coloured coral encase this underwater paradise, providing
a home for a rich diversity of marine life, including sea turtles, reef sharks and abundant
tropical fish. Snorkeling, scuba, and freediving are the main attractions at Palolo deep (if you
can’t bring your own gear, snorkels and fins can be hired in the village). Spot the prized clown
triggerfish or float over the gorgeous carpets of coral. The surrounding reefs create azure lagoons
perfect for diving. Once you’re finished, head back to the food hut for a well-earned smoothie,
or bring a picnic to enjoy in the reserve gardens! Make sure to plan your visit for high tide,
when there’s more room to manoeuvre over the reef without damaging it (or you!). The reserve is open
daily from 8am to 6pm. Since the drop-off is about 100m from shore, it’s recommended for competent
swimmers. You can still swim and snorkel over the edges of the reef—closer to the beach the coral
has sustained some damage from the 2009 tsunami and cyclones, but it is still eerily beautiful.
