Siu Point Trail
On Ta'u Island, the sole path suggested by the national park service is this 9-km (5.7-mile) round-trip route. It leads south from the airport along an old road past coastal forest to the sacred Saua site where Tagaloa, Samoa's supreme ruler and creator of the Universe, is said to have created the first humans who departed Ta'u to populate Polynesia. A small structure marks the site and is a good place to contemplate the origins of Oceania before continuing on to the island's southeastern tip.
