Savaii, Samoa

11 votes

Savaii Island is located off the main island of Upolu, Samoa. There are daily flights or more cost efficent and full of local comradarie the choice of crossing the straight by ferry is a more colourful experience.

Savaii is a lightly populated south pacific island. you could say it is pretty much untouched by man except for the road the circles the island. There are villages and a wharf but the most of the land is undeveloped. This island is a volcano and has old lava flows that dominate the landscape.

Favourite spots:




	Manese beach

Manese Beach on the north eastern tip of Savaii is a must see. There is also a surf camp on the south west side that is worth visiting if you are a surfer.
Basically the whole island is worth a look.

What's really great:




	View from a bus

The people of Samoa are extra friendly and are extremely laid back. To use the local transport of public bus is an expereince not to be missed!

Sights:

The waterfalls on the island and the lava flows are woth a viewing.

Accommodations:




	We had the pool to ourselves most days!

Stay a Le Lagoto Resort. It is peaceful, well run and not to expensive.

Other recommendations:

Swimming with the turtles was going to be the main attraction for me until I found out the turtles were kept in a pool in an estury and I could not face this even though the turtles they were "rescued".
