Talofa! Welcome to Samoa.

Located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean below the equator, our islands are halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii.  Often referred to as the Treasured Islands of the South Pacific, Samoa is renowned as authentic Polynesia.  Consisting of ten islands, each offering distinct and varied environments to explore, independent Samoa is a postcard of natural beauty.  Despite the prevalence of striking white sand beaches, Samoa is more than a tropical beach destination. Offering a wealth of breathtaking interior replete with stately mountain peaks and cascading waterfalls, historical attractions, and a centuries old culture to indulge in, the islands of Samoa are destined to be explored.  

10 Great Things To Do in Samoa

1. Culture- Fa’a Samoa (The Samoan Way) has a strong focus on welcoming visitors into this traditional society.  Take away all the natural beauty and entrancing landscape of these islands and you will still be left with the most fascinating aspect of a trip to Samoa, the people. 
2. Surfing- Both Savai'i and Upolu are dotted with surf breaks and receive good swells year round. A surfer’s paradise for sure!
3. Robert Louis Stevenson- Visit the home of the great Scottish author who spent his last four years in Samoa having fallen in love with the islands and culture. The colonial building that became his home, Villa Valilima is a popular attraction and houses many original editions of his works.
4. Snorkeling & Watersports- The warm waters of Samoa make it an ideal place for diving, snorkeling, swimming and kayaking. With over 900 species of coral and 200 species of fish, there’s never a dull moment in these pristine waters.
