　　Ofu island's crown jewel is the beach along the south coast - 4km (2.5mi) of shining, palm-fringed white sand. The offshore waters are deep enough for some excellent viewing of coral and tropical fish. Almost 300 species of fish have been identified and the reef is believed to contain about 150 species of coral.

　　This sacred site is where Tagaloa is said to have created the first humans before sending them out to Polynesia.

The guilt-ridden villagers went to the shore and called their names; they appeared...

Try to attend a service here on Sunday morning, when villagers congregate in their best whites to sing...

Masefau & Sa’ilele

　　A cross-island road leads from the village of Faga’itua up over a pass before winding slowly down to Masefau, a village that looks too idyllic to be true. 　　Back at the pass, a turn-off takes you down a narrow, potholed road to Sa’ilele, which has one of the island’s loveliest...

Fagatogo Market

　　This is the town’s social centre on a Friday night. Locals come to gossip, ransack food stalls and pick over fresh coconuts, breadfruit and other produce; there's often live music and entertainment, too. When a cruise ship is in town (as they frequently are), stalls selling souvenirs, locally made crafts...

Nu’uuli Falls

　　Standing in stark relief to Nu’uuli’s scruffy strip of restaurants and convenience stores, this secluded waterfall with a deliciously cool swimming hole at its base is a magical place. The surrounding rainforest muffles the sound of the water cascading down 20m of jagged black lava rocks. 　　It's a little hard...
