Savaii Island in Samoa

Savai’i Island is the largest of the Samoan Islands. It is also home to the highest Samoan peak, the dormant volcano of Mt Silisili. The island is a tropical smorgasbord of gorgeous beaches, tumbling waterfalls, lava caves, dramatic blowholes, and lush rainforests teeming with exotic birds. The coral reefs and beaches also bring you some of the best surfing, snorkeling and diving opportunities on the planet. Hike to the volcanic crater of Mt Matavanu or to the spectacular lava fields and lava tubes dotting the island. The energetic ocean geysers of the Alofaaga Blowholes and the scenic setting of the Afu Aau Waterfalls, pouring down into a swimming hole, make for delightful visits. Surfers of all shades have a great time at the lovely Aganoa Beach, while history buffs find the archeological site of the Pulemelei Mound fascinating. Nature lovers have plenty to explore among the islands many rainforests and trails in nature reserves, like the Falealupo Canopy Walk. Soak in the immense natural beauty of this island, letting the traditional Samoan way of life get under your skin for good!
