Samoa has a ton of waterfalls, even after the rainy season, which is when we will be going.
We already had Sopo'aga Falls on our itinerary, as it is on the main tourist route from Apia to To Sua Ocean Trench, arguably the best tourist attraction on Upolu.
I recently found out about Fuipisia Falls, which is just upriver from Sopo'aga Falls, and I want to add it on to the schedule. We will cut our visit to Sopo'aga Falls short from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, which will give us time to visit Fuipisia Falls. I was surprised at how many tourists mention Fuipisia Falls as one of the highlights of their visit to Samoa.
Sopo'aga Falls is a falls overlook, you cannot get to the falls themselves. But it is picturesque and pretty, and the family there has cooking fale demonstrations and will help you make coconut cream. WST5 ($2.20) and there is a toilet and faucet there.Fuipisia Falls, 2 miles upriver and 3 minutes' drive away, costs WST10 ($4.40) has the same cooking fale demonstrations, but presents a different waterfall experience. Here, you can walk up to the top of the falls and even swim in the pool at the top. The walk is manicured green grass with local fauna. If you get an adult guide (and not a kid), they will tell you about the plants which should be interesting. You have to traverse a stream to take this walk, and you might be able to jump from rock to rock if not slippery during the wet season. You have a great opportunity to take a selfie on a rock at the top of the falls. There are clean toilets here.
Apparently, the male guide is very handsy with female tourists, but we shouldn't have that problem.
