MAP OF THE SAMOA ISLANDS
Samoa, officially the Independent State of Samoa and until 1997 known as Western Samoa, is a Polynesian island country consisting of two main islands (Savai'i and Upolu); two smaller, inhabited islands (Manono and Apolima); and several smaller, uninhabited islands, including the Aleipata Islands (Nu'utele, Nu'ulua, Fanuatapu and Namua). Samoa is located 64 km (40 mi) west of American Samoa, 889 km (552 mi) northeast of Tonga (closest foreign country), 1,152 km (716 mi) northeast of Fiji, 483 km (300 mi) east of Wallis and Futuna, 1,151 km (715 mi) southeast of Tuvalu, 519 km (322 mi) south of Tokelau, 4,190 km (2,600 mi) southwest of Hawaii, and 610 km (380 mi) northwest of Niue. The capital city is Apia. The Lapita people discovered and settled the Samoan Islands around 3,500 years ago. They developed a Samoan language and Samoan cultural identity.
Samoa is a unitary parliamentary democracy with 11 administrative divisions. The sovereign state is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Western Samoa was admitted to the United Nations on 15 December 1976. Because of the Samoans' seafaring skills, pre-20th-century European explorers referred to the entire island group (which includes American Samoa) as the Navigator Islands. The country was a colony of the German Empire from 1899 to 1915, then came under a joint British and New Zealand colonial administration until 1 January 1962, when it became independent. Samoa comprises eleven itūmālō (political districts). These are the traditional eleven districts which predate European arrival. Each district has its own constitutional foundation (fa'avae) based on the traditional order of title precedence found in each district's faalupega (traditional salutations). The capital village of each district administers and coordinates the affairs of the district and confers each district's paramount title, amongst other responsibilities.
For example:
A'ana has its capital at Leulumoega. The paramount 'tama-a-'aiga' (royal lineage) title of A'ana is Tuimalealiifano. The paramount pāpā title of A'ana is the Tui A'ana. The orator group which confers this title – the Faleiva (House of Nine) – is based at Leulumoega.
Ātua has its capital at Lufilufi. The paramount 'tama-a-'aiga' (royal lineage) titles of Ātua are Tupua Tamasese (based in Falefa and Salani) and Mata'afa (based in Amaile and Lotofaga). The two main political families who confer the respective titles are 'Aiga Sā Fenunuivao and 'Aiga Sā Levālasi. The paramount pāpā title of Ātua is the Tui Ātua. The orator group which confers this title - the Faleono (House of Six) - is based at Lufilufi.
Tuamasaga has its capital at Afega. The paramount 'tama-a-'aiga' (royal lineage) title of Tuamasaga is the Malietoa title, based in Malie. The main political family that confers the Malietoa title is 'Aiga Sā Malietoa, with Auimatagi as the main speaker for the family. The paramount pāpā titles of Tuamasaga are Gatoaitele (conferred by Afega) and Vaetamasoalii (conferred by Safata).
The eleven itūmālō are identified to be:
Political districts of Samoa, including minor islands
On Upolu
1. Tuamasaga (Afega)
2. A'ana (Leulumoega)
3. Aiga-i-le-Tai (Mulifanua)
4. Atua (Lufilufi)
5. Va'a-o-Fonoti (Samamea)
On Savai'i
6. Fa'asaleleaga (Safotulafai)
7. Gaga'emauga (Saleaula)
8. Gaga'ifomauga (Safotu)
9. Vaisigano (Asau)
10. Satupa'itea (Satup Samoa lies south of the equator, about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, in the Polynesian region of the Pacific Ocean. The total land area is 2,842 km2 (1,097 sq mi), consisting of the two large islands of Upolu and Savai'i (which together account for 99% of the total land area) and eight small islets.
The islets are:
the three islets in the Apolima Strait (Manono Island, Apolima and Nu'ulopa)
the four Aleipata Islands off the eastern end of Upolu (Nu'utele, Nu'ulua, Namua, and Fanuatapu)
Nu'usafe'e, which is less than 1 ha (2+1⁄2 acres) in area and lies about 1.4 km (0.87 mi) off the south coast of Upolu at the village of Vaovai
The main island of Upolu is home to nearly three-quarters of Samoa's population, and to the capital city, Apia.
The Samoan islands result geologically from volcanism, originating with the Samoa hotspot. While all of the islands have volcanic origins, only Savai'i, the westernmost island in Samoa, remains volcanically active, with the most recent eruptions at Mt Matavanu (1905–1911), Mata o le Afi (1902) and Mauga Afi (1725). The highest point in Samoa is Mt Silisili, at 1,858 m (6,096 ft). The Saleaula lava fields situated on the central north coast of Savai'i result from the Mt Matavanu eruptions, which left 50 km2 (19 sq mi) of solidified lava.
Savai'i is the largest of the Samoan islands and the sixth-largest Polynesian island (after New Zealand's North, South and Stewart Islands and the Hawaiian islands of Hawaiʻi and Maui). The population of Savai'i is 42,000 people. #mapschool #maps #samoa
Welcome to Savai'i, Samoa | Pacific Islands | Polynesia
This was our first day in Savai'i. We began the day in Apia city in Upolu and travelled to the big island Savai'i on the ferry. Our driver was waiting for us at the ferry terminal in Salelologa and drove us for nearly two hours to our accommodation in Asau Bay.
Along the way we saw beautifully coloured houses, open fales, churches, coconut trees, tidy gardens, beaches and bush.
We stayed at the beautiful Vaimoana Seaside Lodge where they have 3 kayaks, free for the guests to use. Despite only arriving that day, we couldn't help ourselves, so, we took to the water in a double kayak just before dinner to have a little explore of the area which would be our new home for 1 week.
At dinner, we were pleasantly surprised to find that a local band would play traditional chilled Samoan music for us while we ate by candle light. This place was a dream!

Apia is the capital of Samoa and is on the North Coast of Upolu, about 35 minutes from the Faleolo International Airport.
This is a bustling, friendly South Pacific Island town of about 25,000 people with a real colonial feel to it.
It is a good starting point for your Samoa adventure as it has the supermarkets, car hire, travel agents, tourist information and other things you might find useful.

Savai'i - Island of Beauty and Wonderful People | Samoa
Savai'i is Samoa's big island. It is quite different to Uplolu with evidence of its volcanic past all over the island. There are numerous large volcanic rocks strewn everywhere and even a village overflown with lava still has remains that you can visit.
We spent a week in Savai'i and found it to be an island of stunning beauty and very friendly smiling people. Samoan kids are a warm, friendly, happy bunch and a real highlight of our time there. The adults are fine people too!

Samoa By Drone | Savai'i
Some left over drone footage from a recent trip to Samoa. Footage is unable to be used for real videos, due to shadows in shot, leaves blowing, you can see me, etc etc. The best is yet to come..
All footage shot on Savai'i, the largest of the islands which make up Samoa, using a DJI Phantom 3 Professional quadcopter filming platform (aka drone), shooting 1080P HD footage at 50 frames per second.
Special thanks to Kuki at Le Lagoto Resort, and Sale at Vai Moana Seaside Lodge for making these images possible, co-ordinating access, providing transport, and basically making me feel very welcome in Savai'i.
More information about Savai'i can be found by visiting:

FOGAMA'A- HIKING TO HIDDEN BEACH- AMERICAN SAMOA
We've gathered a few friends to join us on our hike to FOGAMA'A (or as we like to call it HIDDEN BEACH) and we're inviting you to come along also.
A quick, but moderately challenging 0.5 mile hike into a volcanic crater and through a banana plantation takes you to the top of a staircase, leading down to the most pristine and magical beach on Tutuila.
American Samoa is full of beautiful beaches, incredible trails, and breathtaking views, but we've got to say that Fogama'a is our favorite. There's just something about this place that makes us fall in love with it again and again, EVERY TIME we go back!
Go for an hour or pack a lunch and stay all day. However long you have, you'll enjoy every minute of it.
Make sure to check out the Guide to Hiking Fogama'a and lots of other resources for visiting and living in American Samoa at
Let us know where else you want us to show. I promise, we'll get to them ????

Exploring and Snorkeling Around a Tiny Island | Savai'i, Samoa
During our trip to beautiful Savai'i in Samoa, we spent the better part of a day on a tiny island. The island used to hold the local airstrip before it was destroyed by Cyclone Ofa in 1990.
We were staying at the Vaimoana Seaside Lodge in Asau Bay, where you can book a boat trip to the former airstrip island.
When the staff at Vaimoana told me that the island used to have an airstrip I wasn't sure whether to believe them. The island is so small! However, they showed me a photograph given to them by a 90 year old pilot who had flown there in 1972. Indeed it was true. The photo showed the pilot with his plane on the airstrip.
The gear used to shoot this video:
* GoPro Hero 4 Black
* GoPro Hero 4 Silver
* GoPro Hero 3+ Black
* iPhone 6
* iPhone 6s
* DJI Spark -
* Telesin Dome Port -
I stumbled upon some footage from 1981 that shows the airstrip intact before it was destroyed:

Podróż 2018 - SAMOA
Kilkudniowy pobyt na wyspach Samoa, w rejonie Asau Bay. Ciepły ocean, palmy, cisza i spokój. Wyspa Savai'i to wygasły wulkan a raczej szereg wygasłych kraterów typu hawajskiego. Wszędzie pełno lawy bazaltowej dlatego też główne atrakcje związane są z lawą.
