About this experience
Let us take you on a fun-filled educational experience of the Southern Coast of Savaii exploring the geological and natural beauties on Savaii. This tour is for those who opt to stay on the main island (Upolu) and have a quick glimpse of the biggest island of the Samoa group.
We will take you to see the majestic Alofaaga Blowholes touted as the best in the world, as well as the Mu Pagoa waterfall in Puleia as it drops off straight into the ocean. Take a refreshing swim at the Afu Aau waterfall in Vailoa Palauli and also get intimate knowledge from the locals as we enter a local home to witness first hand how our traditional cloth (siapo) is made from the bark of the paper mulberry tree.
Finish off the day with a quick stop at the Salelologa market before catching the 2pm ferry back to Upolu.
