Samoa focuses on what matters the most: its people and a 3,000-year-old way of life – Fa’a Samoa – a guideline for every Samoan on how to lead their lives by celebrating and embracing traditional values, their culture, and environment. The friendly nature of Samoans will put any solo tripper at ease and allow you to truly immerse yourself in Samoan culture. It’s easy to be able to wander through Samoa’s 360-plus villages or get a sense of Island living, taking a day trip to Manono Island is a must.

Experience Papaseea Sliding Rocks (natural water slides) and lose yourself in the tropical Falealupo Rainforest Reserve. The “Taga Blowholes” are another must-see.
