Savai'i, the largest island of Samoa has much to offer, getting aways from the hustle and bustle of the main island. You can visit the Taga Blowholes, where the ocean's force pushes water through natural vents, creating spectacular sprays. For a touch of history and culture, head to the ancient Pulemelei Mound, the largest and most mysterious archaeological site in Polynesia. Beach lovers will find paradise in the pristine sands and crystal-clear waters of Lano Beach and Aganoa Beach. These spots are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and simply soaking up the sun. If you're an adventure seeker, the island offers excellent opportunities for diving, where you can explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life.Don't miss the chance to hike up Mount Silisili, Samoa's highest peak, for breathtaking panoramic views of the island.

Explore our culture and immerse yourself in a world rich with tradition, warmth, and vibrant community spirit. From the moment you set foot on the islands, you'll be greeted with the heartfelt hospitality known as "fa'a Samoa" – the Samoan way.

Start your journey by visiting a traditional village, where you can witness the daily lives of the locals and participate in cultural practices. Engage in a "fono," a village meeting where elders share wisdom and stories that have been passed down through generations.

Don't miss the chance to see a "siva," the captivating Samoan dance, performed with grace and energy. The rhythmic drum beats and expressive movements tell stories of love, history, and nature.

Treat your taste buds to the flavors of Samoa by indulging in an "umu," an earth oven feast. Savor dishes like palusami, a delicious blend of taro leaves and coconut cream, and fresh seafood caught from the surrounding pristine waters.

As you leave, you'll carry with you not just memories, but a deeper understanding and appreciation of a culture that values respect, family, and the beauty of living in harmony with nature.
