The
mesmerizing natural swimming pool is almost 100 feet down, on a volcanic Samoan
island offers tourists to the ultimate experience in relaxation. The “big hole”
hidden in a grotto on a volcanic island actually to Sua Ocean Trench, which
literally translates as “big hole”' is located in Lotofaga village, on the
south coast of Upolu island in Samoa. When the volcanoes erupted on the island,
much of the ground fell away, and this 98-foot deep hole was the result.
Tourists can relish crystal-clear waters populated with tropical fish and a
sandy bed, and its natural beauty increase further by a steep ladder leads down
to the water, with travelers using it to dive into the pool or use as an
impromptu diving board providing the water levels are high enough. Moreover,
for those who’re not brave enough, a tumble in from a board a matter of inches
above the water may be the safer option. The magical green landscape is matched
by crystal clear waters, a plenty of tropical fish and a sandy bed. A series of
canals leading from the pool to the South Pacific Ocean ensure the hole is
never dried out. The majestic natural beauty of Samoan spot has not been lost
on most who have visited it already.
In order to
protect the serene spot, as well as preserve the safety of the tourist routes
into the water, there is a charge you have to pay for swim. It will cost for
adults £10 ($15), children £3.85 ($6.00), but is free to those under the age of
seven. For those who’ve traveled the spot, had great experience and says; To
Sua is one of the most unique, relaxing places that ever have been to. When
they went there was no rush and it was very peaceful place. A visitor says this
is truly a magical experience, swimming at the bottom of the grotto. However,
if you’re an expert swimmer, you can even swim underneath the rock tunnel and
out to the ocean. He further added that we visited the trench in May and
unquestionably loved it, the spot is so striking and the water is warm and
clear. We’re highly recommended a must visiting place to see the paradise on
earth. Therefore tourists to the trench
are carefully warned to take care when walking down the ladder, as expectedly,
it can become slippery. Well, climb down looks bad but if you take your time and
wear sandals it's ok. There is a review on website has scored To Sua Ocean
Trench a four-and-a-half rating out of five based on visitors' reviews. Of the
