Samoa Top Things To See
• See the tomb of Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, on top of Mount Vaea, from the lawn of his house near Vailima. The house was restored and officially opened as the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum in 1994 on the 100th anniversary of his death.
• Witness the most beautiful part of Samoa - the Aleipata district has a landscape dominated by waterfalls, white-sand beaches and traditional villages. From Apia, a 65km (40 mile) drive leads to the Falefa Falls, Fuipisia Falls and Mafa Pass.
• See where Return to Paradise was filmed in 1952. The attractive Lefaga Village, on the southwest coast, can be reached by a cross-island road.
• Just off the coast of Upolu on Manono Island, see the inspiration for the legendary ‘Bali Hai' in the musical South Pacific.
• Experience what has been described as ‘Polynesia at its truest' on Savai'i, the largest island in the Samoan archipelago.
• Watch for flying foxes and birds in the Tafua Peninsula Rainforest Preserve, near the coastal village of Tafua.
• Behold the largest ancient structure in the whole of Polynesia - the Tia Seu Ancient Mound is an awe-inspiring ‘pyramid' that stands at 12m (39ft) tall.
• Don't miss these sights - the Mu Pagoa Waterfall, the Alofaaga Blowholes and the lava caves and lava fields near the village of Saleaula.
