Tafua Savai'i (13°47'S., 172°15'W.), 1.5 miles NW of the SE extremity of the island, is 171m high. It makes a good mark for making Apolima Strait. It begins to show above the horizon about the same time as Apolima Islet, and appears as an island. From the NE, Tafua Savai'i may be mistaken for Apolima and the latter for Manono, which does not appear until much closer.
