Old world and new collide in Apia, Samoa's harborside capital. Traditional Samoan houses and buildings stand side by side with 19th century colonial churches and official buildings as well as late 20th century multistory structures. 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.

Papaseea Sliding Rock

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.

Reviewed By ScottMartin - Dunedin, New Zealand

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.
