Mt. Matavanu crater is on the north coast of Savaii by the village of Safotu, a 30 to 45 minute drive off the main road on a 4 wheel drive track, with a 15 minute walk from the car park at the end but it can be quite a special journey.
Mt Matavanu was an active volcano from 1905 to 1911 and sent lava flowing 13 kilometres to the north east, destroying everything in its path.
It is operated as an attraction by an eccentric local by the name of Seu Utumapu but better know as 'The Craterman' who's put up the carved signs along the path to the top and who will also carve your name as well on request - for a small charge.

SAMOA: EXPLORING the REMOTE VOLCANIC ISLAND of APOLIMA ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for an exclusive tour of Samoa's smallest but incredibly spectacular volcanic island of Apolima. Less than 50 people a year get to visit this spectacular island and it is well worth the effort, what an incredible culture!! Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Apolima is the smallest of the four inhabited islands of Samoa and situated in the Apolima Strait, between the country's two largest islands Upolu to the east and Savai'i to the west. The island has one village settlement, Apolima Tai with a population of 75, the small settlement is situated in the interior's flat plateau on the northern side. Apolima is a rim of an extinct volcanic crater with a maximum height of 165 m. It is a little less than one square kilometer in size and the only access to the island is by boat.
Samoa is an country comprising the westernmost group of the Samoan Islands, in Polynesia. Many of its islands have reef-bordered beaches and rugged, rainforested interiors with gorges and waterfalls. The islands include Upolu, home to most of Samoa's population, and Savai'i, one of the largest islands in the South Pacific. Smaller islands may have small villages or be uninhabited, some with wildlife sanctuaries.

Between 1905 and 1911, lava flowing from Mt. Matavanu claimed much land and many buildings in this area. The ruins are at once fascinating and quite eerie. Today this part of the north east Savaii coast is one of the most varied landscapes on Samoa with vegetation now slowly reclaiming the inrteresting and varied textures of the lava itself.
You can walk all the way to the coast from the main road in about 45 minutes but it can get quite hot and strong shoes are highly recommended.
