With more than 2500 hours of sunshine annually and a sea
temperature that rarely falls below 75°F, the weather is just
perfect. The volcanic islands of Samoa bid you 'Talofa Lava' or
'Welcome' to the heart of Polynesia. The islands are stunningly
beautiful with pristine white sand beaches with thickly vegetated
covered mountains and many of the best waterfalls to be found on
any island in the South Pacific.
There are 2 main islands in Samoa; Upolu, where the capital,
Apia and the International Airport is located, and Savaii.
Both have amazing natural beauty, from the crystal clear ocean
teeming with tropical fish and majestic turtles, to the lava
fields, rainforests, waterfalls, mineral springs and caves.
You can see and experience tradtional Samoan daily life in
many of the small towns and villages dotted around these beautiful
islands.
Independant since 1962, the Samoan people are very warm and
friendly and have proudly preserved their century's old Polynesian
culture, each village has it's own Chief or 'Matai', who still
retains a great influence over day to day village life, helping to
maintain the cultural core for the nation. Lying just east of the
International Dateline, Samoa is the last country to see the old
day out and the last country to see the new one in!
We believe that Samoa is one of the South Pacific's best kept
secrets....
