Discover Samoa's age-old culture and traditions in a fun and interactive way at the Samoa Cultural Village on Beach Road in the heart of Apia. Fa'a Samoa - the Samoan Way! Samoa is a traditional Polynesian society with Fa'a Samoa playing a vital role in village and community life. Samoans are proud of their strong Fa'a Samoa - which means 'the Samoan Way'. It is the essence of the Samoan culture and dictates how Samoans are meant to behave and their obligations to their elders, superiors, family, community, church and the environment. There are over 362 nu'u or villages in Samoa with a total of 18,00 matais (chiefs). Churches of various denominations feature in every village while meeting houses and open fales or homes encircle the malae or village green. Fa'a Samoa has a strong focus on welcoming visitors making Samoans friendly and hospitable hosts. However, Samoans expect their guests to observe and respect local customs. For a quick insight into Samoa's culture and traditions, visit the Samoa Cultural Village today.

Very nice spot. Clear waters and pools and small falls. Walk all over, slowly, peer into waters and rock crevices. We spotted, black salamanders/lizards in the rock walls, and small fish and swimming eels in the shallow down stream river. easy to swim in
6. Coastal Lava Cliff Walk

We were so glad we decided to do this walk! One of our highlights from the trip. Right up the top with the trench and Lalomanu beach. Short and sweet but very sweaty! Took us approximately an hour with stops for photos but we were lucky the gates were open- otherwise it would have been a long walk! Weaved through the beautiful rainforest and openings and viewing points were spectacular. Lava fields were great to walk out on and get closer to the cliff edge. No fences and steep drops so needed care whilst walking and on the fields. Clearly marked path made the walk easy. Track down to the walk best suited for 4WD as it was quite rough. Narrow road and not a lot of parking at the end but we were the only ones there so didn’t bother us!

A gorgeous and peaceful place to visit with beautiful gardens. The temple is inspirational with quotes on all nine sides. It is a very soothing place worth a stop off.
