The experience
A spring-fed freshwater pool inside a lava-tube cave beneath a historic Methodist chapel on Upolu's north coast — crystal water, resident fish, and a submerged tunnel to a second grotto near the sea.
Run quietly by the theological college for a small fee with no promotion — visitors bound for To Sua Trench drive right past.

It's only worth the detour May–Oct. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
