Samoa is an ideal destination for adventure or relaxation-based holidays, offering a wide range of activities and attractions to suit all interests.
Diving & Snorkelling -The waters around Samoa are crystal clear providing ideal visibility for diving and snorkelling. This marine paradise is blessed with over 900 fish species and more than 200 varieties of stunning coral.
Explore the Beaches - Soak up the sun or relax in an open-air fale. Beautiful swimming beaches stretch along the south coast of Upolu (from Lalomanu in the south-east to Matareva and Return to Paradise Beach in the south-west), and on the north coast of Savai’i.
Fiafia Shows - A performance of traditional Samoan singing and dancing, including the famous fire-knife dance. These shows are performed at most hotels and resorts.
Hire a Car - Explore the islands of Upolu and Savai’i by car and discover Samoa at your own pace. Driving is on the right hand side and all main roads are sealed and in fairly good condition. National Parks and waterfalls are well signposted and easily accessible.
Most land in Samoa, and areas within a lagoon or bay, is the property of a village. You must always ask permission before entering and in many cases, you will be asked to pay a small fee. We recommend Blue Pacific Car Hire.
Kayaking - Samoa's coastline is ideal for kayaking as it is ringed with fringing reefs. Several adventure companies provide tours around the main islands and uninhabited offshore islands.
Surfing - Surfing is for experienced surfers only and is best at high tide. The waves break directly on coral reefs and currents are often extremely strong.
Waterfalls & Conservation Areas - Travel through lush, rainforest-covered mountains and traditional Samoan villages enroute to spectacular waterfalls, blowholes, national parks and conservation areas.
Watersports - Samoa has numerous beaches, bays and lagoons which are ideal for a host of watersports including swimming, sailing, windsurfing, big game fishing and yacht charters.
