The 'Treasured Islands' of Samoa are the crowning jewels of the South Pacific. Surrounded by warm crystal clear waters, travelers will find islands blessed with natural beauty, a tropical paradise where the environment is pristine, the people friendly and a living culture treasured by all. Samoa's natural wonders of waterfalls, rainforests, mountains, volcanoes, and miles of white sand beaches beckon the adventurer seeking peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of modern society.  

Samoa is comprised of two large islands, Upolu and Savaii and eight smaller islands. The capital Apia is located on the island of Upolu. The islands are volcanic and dominated by rugged mountain ranges with a surrounding fringe of coral reefs and lagoons. In the surrounding ocean, dolphins, whales and porpoises migrate through Samoa's waters, while turtles are regular visitors.  

Samoa is a kaleidoscope of things to see, from the home of author Robert Louis Stevenson, to the Royal Tombs at Mulinuu. Apia, the capital, is vibrant by day or night, where villagers sell their wares at the marketplace, and where each working day, the Police Band marches to raise the flag and play the national anthem. Visit the National Parks and Reserves, blow-holes, lava fields and waterfalls scattered around these islands, and experience nature's beauty. 

 The warm waters of the Pacific Ocean offer a range of water sports, from reef surf to game fishing, diving, sea kayaking and snorkeling. For the land lover, picnic by a waterfall, hike to extinct volcanic craters and explore the vast plantations of coconut, bananas and cocoa. Go horseback riding along the white sand beaches or canoe through the mangroves.
