The stunning Alofaaga Blowholes coastal walk is one of the best in Samoa and it's easily accessible The great thing is that you can walk for as long or as little as you like. You could just sit at the blowholes for hours watching the waves burst through the blowholes and rising 30 metres in the air. If you're really adventurous you could walk several days along the coast all the way to Satuiatua without coming across another human soul.
A few hours stroll does most nicely. From the blowholes, head west along the rocks - there is a small track by the edge of the coastal rainforest but rock hopping is always good fun. The rocks weave in and out across little canyons and up over small coastal cliffs. In parts, small blowholes explode over the rocks causing temporary waterfalls as the water retreats back to the sea. You'll find small rock pools, lots of crabs, sea birds, sea arches and secluded beaches at every corner. This is a great place to be inspired by the sea.
A good option is to stay at the Taga Blowholes Fales, about 10-minutes walk from the main viewing area which enables you to really explore the area in your own time.
