TO SUA OCEAN TRENCH , SAMOA

Pounding surf, cartoonish vegetation, hidden coastal tunnels and explosive blowholes: Samoa is an adventure movie set on steroids. It’s a hole. Yes, a hole in the ground. But there are good reasons why thousands of visitors turn up to Samoa each year to visit and swim in the breathtaking To Sua – or “big hole with water coming out of it”.

Hamilton Pool Preserve is a historic swimming hole which was designated a preserve by the Travis County Commissioner’s Court in 1990. Located 3/4 mile upstream from its confluence with the Pedernales River, Hamilton Creek spills out over limestone outcroppings to create a 50 foot waterfall as it plunges into the head of a steep box canyon. The waterfall never completely dries up, but in dry times it does slow to a trickle. However, the pool’s water level stays pretty constant, even during periods of drought.

GROTTA DELLA POESIA , ITALY

The open-air pool is a scenic spot, a nice change from the usual beach, and one steeped in myth and mystery, as well! egend has it that a beautiful princess used to bathe in the healthful waters of the sea cavern, and when word spread of her incomparable beauty, poets from all over southern Italy came to write prose inspired by her. Some wrote of nymphs, others of an oriental princess, and others of a gorgeous queen from the north, adding to the place’s fame so that eventually it became known as the Grotto of Poetry.

Las Grietas is a fissure in lava rocks that has created a series of narrow crevices filled with crystal clear water.  One of our favourite things to do in Puerto Ayora was snorkelling in Las Grietas.

PAMUKKALE POOLS , TURKEY

The thermal pool is a bucket list to be ticked off sometime in one’s life time and not to be missed when visiting Pamukkale in Turkey. The terraced white castle ( Literally localized as Pamukkale in Turkish) can be packed and i guess the traffic is somewhat subdued in winter months as we could wonder down and throttle the pools bare footed without the usual complaints from reviews in the summer months. Do get ready your camera and click away especially with the sunset and there is ample food store on the top of the terrace for you to soak in the view and revitalize your feet. Highly recommended to do list in life !

JACOB’S WELL , TEXAS

acob’s Well is a spring in Hays County, an hour or so southwest of Austin, near the towns of Wimberley and Dripping Springs. The well is fed by the Trinity Aquifer, which pushes up water through the well and spills it into nearby Cypress Creek. That cool water has lured locals and visitors to the Hill Country spot for hundreds of years. And, for almost that long, Jacob’s Well has been a siren call for the adventurous, too.

DUDHSAGAR WATERFALLS , GOA , INDIA

Dudhsagar Falls (literally Sea of Milk) is a four-tiered waterfall located on the Mandovi River in the Indian state of Goa. 20 km trek to the middle of the forest to swim with the fishes.
