Samoa Cultural Village

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.

informative and interesting tour that gives you an insight into Samoan culture, from making your own woven plate, watching traditional food preparation, tatoo, wood carving, textile, dance and all presented with good humour and a free lunch! Must do when in Apia!

Coastal Lava Cliff Walk

Reviewed By Megsy546

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!

Reviewed By zuchinibee - Wellington, New Zealand

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.

Apia Town Clock Tower

Reviewed By petertaylor57 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Most roads seem to end up there. Familiar and easy to find landmark built in memory of those Samoans sacrificed in WWI. A great resource if you are crossing the dateline from American Samoa, or just plain jet-lagged from coming the other way.

Swimming with Turtles

Reviewed By BZONCE - Auckland, New Zealand

Such beautiful turtles ???? and at only $7 per person to go and see them up close and be able to hop in for a swim why wouldn’t you go. You get given a bowl of pawpaw/papaya to feed the turtles also with this charge. My mum and sister absolutely loved seeing the turtles and feeding them, this was the highlight of the trip for them and also the cute little boy who was with his mum, his name is MJ and he will happily come hang out with you lol.
