The waterfalls of Upolu

There are many beatifull waterfalls in Samoa. Rent a car for a day and drive around the Island of Upolu and see them in a day. Some are nice places to have a cooling swim, while others are just for the scenic view.

Canoe tour in the Sataoa mangroves

One of Upolu's most important wetland areas are located around the villages of Sataoa and Sa'anapu. In an effort to preserve the area it has been declared a conservation area with support from UNESCO.

The local conservation comitee maintains a nature trail trough the mangroves and arranges an 1 - 2 hour tour with a walk into the lush mangrove forrest followed by a trip in a small outrigger canoe.

This is a very special experience that you should not miss and well worth its price of 30 Talla.
