Travelling To Samoa

Samoa is the place to go to fly and flop on powdery, blindingly white beaches with towering palm trees dripping into mirror calm turquoise tropical seas (your quintessential childhood image of the South Pacific) but also to discover a traditional way of life called Fa’a Samoa (The Samoan Way).

1:Sunday is observed as a day of rest with families visiting church and enjoying toonai (Sunday lunch) – be sure to catch a service. You can celebrate mass in the cathedral even if you are not religious.

2:Almost everyone comes to the region to get wet. The lagoons and reefs around the islands are home to some 900 species of fish and over 200 varieties of coral.

3:Samoans live in harmony with nature, ensuring the environment remains pristine, unspoiled, safe and clean. Not only no rubbish but no sign posts, no traffic lights, no bus stops and the slowest highway in the world with a speed limit of 40 mph.
