The central clock tower is surrounded by shops and markets, as well as nightlife in various bars and nightclubs. Vaiala beach offers snorkeling opportunities. The final resting place of writer Robert Louis Stevenson, Apia still houses his former home, now a museum.

My son had been to Samoa staying near Apia. He found the Return to Paradise Resort on a day trip on the moped and really enjoyed the day experience. When we were going he recommended we stay there. What a good call. The area is beautiful, relaxing, staff so pleasant and polite. The story of the making of movie and the life time connections made is a very special one. We enjoyed our entire stay, food, service, facilities and oh the sunset!!

You don't need to pronounce the name to appreciate these spectacular falls that plunge 500 feet into a volcanic crater, surrounded by a lush rain forest.

A really beautiful waterfall that can be viewed from a roadside stop. No facilities at the view point.

You may want to try this again and again once you've experienced the thrill of skimming the 16-foot waterfall down this natural rock slide.

Took a nice little solo mission to the Papaseea Sliding Rock. Easy to find and good road accessible by scooter with a $10 Tala entry fee (which is to be expected at most attractions in Samoa). Arrived and had the place to myself for a start and explored all the different pools and relaxed in this magical space, surrounded by the tropical jungle paradise. Initially didn't see anywhere safe to slide down the rocks, but upon some youth arriving and showing me how it was done, I soon joined in and had a blast. Epic spot whether you want to chill or be more adventurous.

Cheap entry fee. Very good value with fales, picnic tables, change rooms, tree swings and of course the amazing snorkelling! Don't go during low tide. Also, it's more difficult for smaller kids since you have to swim out a bit to see the good stuff. The ocean waves make it tiring for little kids. We saw TONS of fish and beautiful coral. We enjoyed the snorkelling!
