Cape Mulinu’u
Nicknamed the Sunset Beach, this is a perfect white sand beach where the world’s day comes to an end. Poetic and beautiful, this is a must-visit part of Samoa.
Visit Falealupo
Samoa is a compendium of legends, memories and traditions, none captured better than Falealupo. From its Rainforest Canopy Walkway to the war god Moso’s Footprint to the House of Rocks, everything has its own story.
Falefa Falls
During the monsoons, these magnificent falls engorge and provide travellers with a powerful night of Nature’s power and bounty. Also worth a dekko are the Piula Cave Pools.
Pulumelei Pyramids
It’s not certain if a Samoan tourist took inspiration on his or her holiday to Egypt 2,000 years ago, but Pulumelei is grand and beautiful in its own right.
Tusitala Museum
We know Tusitala better as master storyteller Robert Louis Stevenson. Yes, the Scottish writer fell in love with Samoa so much that he spent the last years of his life here!

Surfing, snorkeling and diving: Samoa is world-famous for its surfing. Pick a board and go off to A’ufaga or Solosolo for amazing swells and breaks. Also, its reefs and profusion of marine life make any dive worthy of hours of fun. Lalomanu Beach is an especially great spot for snorkeling.
Experience Fa’a Samoa: Any holiday to Samoa would be incomplete without experiencing a few days of village life. A relaxing antidote to technological weariness, this culture is an eye-opener for family bonding and group activities. Listen to the centuries-old stories handed down from father to son and watch cultural shows and events to remember.
Volcano hikes: Walk to the summit of the Matavanu Crater to get breathtaking views of Savai’I island.
Robert Louis Stevenson Museum: Discover how one of the greatest writers in our time came and fell in love with Samoa so much that he stayed here permanently.
Papase’ea Sliding Rocks: One of the most fun experiences to be had in Samoa. Close to Apia is a gurgling waterfall which goes down a series of slippery pools to a nice splash at the end. Watch locals as they do ‘surf’ the waterfalls.
The best of Samoan events is the Independence Celebrations (June) and the Teuila Festival (September); where there are non-stop celebrations with floats, markets and merrymakers throughout the islands.
One of the best experiences to have in Samoa is to be accepted into a tribe and get invited to a ‘umu’ feast. Bonfires, traditional barbeques, song and dance mark the night as unforgettable. Also remarkable is the ‘siva’ dance performed by the village youngsters although visitors have to dance with the enthusiastic performers when asked. You have been warned.
The village visit would be incomplete unless a tour of traditional arts and crafts is undertaken. Travellers can take back with them wood carvings with traditional Polynesian motifs. There are also carved wooden drums, spears and other items adorned with decorative patterns.
