10 Things NOT To Do in Samoa
Get more Tips here!
The Samoan islands are surrounded by miles of pristine beaches, crystal blue ocean, and dazzling reef. But keep in mind that Samoa is a conservative country, and you should do your research ahead of time. Here’s our list of 10 things you should NOT in Samoa.
1. Don’t Stay Standing
When it’s time to get down to business, you’ll notice that Samoans all sit down on the floor to engage in discussion. It’s also considered rude to eat or drink while you’re standing.
2. Don’t Indulge in Kava
It’s customary to take part in the kava ceremony. This narcotic brew is made with the roots of a pepper plant, and the cup of liquid is passed around for everyone to sip and enjoy. Overindulging in the drink can decrease your reaction times and motor coordination.
3. Don’t forget to brush up on the Culture
Samoan Cultural Village and Knowledgeable guides will take you around through different exhibits where you’ll be given a fun history lesson. You’ll also be taught coconut weaving, watch an entertaining dance performance, and be treated to a traditional meal cooked over an earth oven.
4. Don’t Underestimate a Beach Fale
A fale is a hut on the beaches. You can actually rent one and wake up to the waves crashing right at your feet. These handmade structures range from simple to luxurious, but to get a true experience, you’ll definitely want to stay in the old school version made of wood and dried coconut fiber.
5. Don’t Leave the Water Without Your Lava Lava
After soaking up some sun on the beach, make sure to cover up with a lava lava afterward. It’s similar to a sarong, and it basically covers up your body so that you don’t offend the locals. And keep in mind, the lava lava is worn by both men and women.
6. Don’t Forget to Pay Taefu T Matafeo Store a Visit
Between Salelologa and the north coast, you’ll find a tiny establishment called Taefu T Matafeo Store. Inside, you can sip on some of the best espressos ever, while nibbling on homemade cakes. They also serve up light fare, including kimchi, and they have more than enough icy beer to go around.
7. Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls…Just Joking
Samoa’s backdrop is rich with gorgeous tropical forests that are home to some of the most stunning waterfalls. On Upolu Island, you will find Sopoaga Waterfall at the foot of Lotofaga Village. At the base of the falls, you can also take part in an umu demonstration and coconut husking.
8. Don’t Be Surprised by Beach Fees
In Samoa, the majority of the beaches are owned by families and villages, and they charge visitors a small fee (from 5 to 20 tala) to swim, take photos on the beach, or even wander around the sand. If you’re staying at a resort, you won’t have to worry about this fee at all.
9. Don’t Visit the National Museum on Weekends
This museum should definitely be at the top of your itinerary, but make sure you stop by during the week, because they’re closed on weekends. You can send a special request to ask that they open their doors for you on a Saturday or Sunday, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll honor it.
10. Don’t Enter During Prayer
Prayer sessions can happen frequently, and if you find that you’ve arrived at someone’s home during a prayer, wait outside until it is finished. If you’re inside their home at the time the prayer’s set to take place, you’ll be expected to take part in the service as well.
SAMOA ADVENTURE
What an island!!
I am half Samoan and it was both Jake and I first time to this tropical paradise.
The island Upolu has some magical places and we only reached the north west coast of it! We Stayed at Tanoa Tusitala Hotel in Apia town centre.
We went to places such as:
Piula cave pools
Vavau beach
To Sua Trench Pool
The waterfalls are amazing, and the weather is tropical heat just how I like it. The food oh my fish, palusami, tuna, oka and Taro are some of their famous traditional dishes. (Palusami my favourite with seared fish in the picture)
We can’t wait to go back and visit Savaii Island
And the south west of Upolu!
Definitely will be staying within walking distance to a swimmable beach next time, but this trip was still a delight!

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!

Exploring Samoa 2019
Our two weeks spent in Samoa on Upolo, Savai'i and Namua island.
We had only 2 nights in resorts and the others were spent in beach fales across the islands. Personally we think that is the best way to see the country. We can't recommend this paradise enough. The beautiful people and beaches free from crowds made this a very special place.
If you have any questions let us know. We'd be happy to recommend :)
Things to do in Samoa (part 1) - Travel Vlog by Estralians
Estralians decided to visit Samoa this time and we wanted to share our adventure on Samoan main island with you guys.
It's absolutely beautiful with it's luscious jungle and wildlife. Amazing beaches with crystal clear water, beach fales, Samoan culture and people
If you are considering of visiting this paradise island then don't think twice, it's worth the visit before it becomes over commercialised.
At the moment it is just perfect with enough accommodation for everyone and not too many resorts around.
Most of the motels/fales are run by local families and it's an absolute pleasure and privilege to have the opportunity to see how traditional Samoans live.
Truly happy and down to earth nation.

SAMOA: Exploring remote MANONO island ????️ in the Pacific Ocean, let's go!
Island of Manono, Samoa, Pacific Ocean - full tour of Manono island in Samoa. Let's travel to Samoa and let's walk around Manono island which is an island of Samoa, situated in the Apolima Strait between the main islands of Savai'i and Upolu. I walked all around Manono island videotaping the different sites, its four villages on the island with a total population of about 1,000. The boat trip from Upolu island to Manono island took about 20 minutes. Being at the island of Manono in Samoa was an incredible and very unique experience.
Samoa is an country comprising the westernmost group of the Samoan Islands, in Polynesia. Many of its islands have reef-bordered beaches and rugged, rainforested interiors with gorges and waterfalls. The islands include Upolu, home to most of Samoa's population, and Savai'i, one of the largest islands in the South Pacific. Smaller islands may have small villages or be uninhabited, some with wildlife sanctuaries.
