Things to do in Asau include Alofaaga Blowholes, Manase Beach, Satoalepai Turtle Sanctuary. Here are 15 places worth knowing, with a short note on each.
The Alofaaga Blowholes, also called the Taga Blowholes, are a natural feature on the south coast of Savai'i in Samoa, with the entrance in the village of Taga. Lava flows created tubes linking a flat clifftop of lava rock to the ocean below, and waves breaking at their lower ends push water up through them in fountains that spray every few seconds.

Manase Beach is a white sandy beach in the village of Manase, on the central north coast of Savai'i in Samoa. The village has been a popular tourist destination since the 1990s, with locally owned beach fale, traditional Samoan huts, where visitors can stay beside the sea.
Plan AsauThe Satoalepai Turtle Sanctuary is a pool in a wetland area at Satoalepai village on the north coast of Savai'i in Samoa, where a local family keeps sea turtles and releases them into the ocean once they have grown. In Samoan tradition sea turtles are sacred fish believed to guide lost fishermen to land.

Falealupo Beach is at Falealupo village on the western end of Savai'i in Samoa, in an area of sandy beaches, rock pools and caves. Until Samoa moved the International Date Line in 2011, the village was described as the last in the world to see the sunset each day.

Plan Asau

Plan AsauHere is what 3 days in Asau look like when the planner builds them - arriving at noon on the first day and flying home at noon on the last. Stops are grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, and the same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
The route assumes the first day starts at noon, after you land, and the last ends at noon, before your flight. It also assumes a car: the places are spread across a wide area. It is an example: with your dates the planner builds a route around your landing and your flight home, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
