Samoa Essentials

Samoa's landscape is defined by volcanic activity and deep Polynesian heritage. This selection spans the two main islands, Upolu and Savai'i, featuring the 1905 lava fields of Sale’aula and the Pulemele'i Mound, the largest ancient structure in Polynesia. Cultural landmarks include Robert Louis Stevenson’s estate and the ornate Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Apia. Natural highlights range from the Mu Pagoa waterfall, which drops directly into the Pacific Ocean, to the freshwater Piula Cave Pool and the powerful Alofaaga blowholes.
