What to do and see in Apia, Upolu: The Best Outdoor Activities

December 11, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

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.

Lefaga Beach

Reviewed By RobynH767

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!!
