Overview
Take a trip to Upolu Point on your Samoa Vacation
Upolu is more than just Samoa's most populous island and its second largest. It is also a vibrant South Pacific island rich with unique culture, lush mountain highlands, and beautiful beaches ready for you to explore. Immerse yourself in the lively and colourful markets of central Apia, Samoa's capital, where you can enjoy delicious produce and fresh seafood sold at the Apia Fish Market. Embrace Upolu's diverse culinary scene by indulging in traditional umu (a traditional underground oven, where food is cooked using heated rocks in a buried pit) feasts alongside locals or at one of the many modern restaurants and cafes. Travel to the Upolu's main south coast road and descend 30 m / 98 ft into the beautiful turquoise waters of the To-Sua trench, where you'll swim inside an ancient lava tube cave. Continue your adventure to Upolu's interior and embark on a jungle adventure into the mountainous highlands, where you are sure to encounter magnificent wildlife. Those seeking a more relaxing Samoan experience can choose from some of Samoa's best beaches, including the black-sand Aganoa Beach, the coconut-palmed Vavau Beach, and Lalomanu Beach, voted one of the best beaches in the world by Lonely Planet.

Samoan Tala (WST)What do the experts say?
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
The Pyrenean Mountain scenery and tax-free shopping are two of my favourite things about travelling to Andorra.
I love learning about Nicaragua's culture and experiencing its Spanish influence in some cities. I was only there for five days, but I'll never forget how delicious the food was and how welcoming and extremely polite the people were.
The Day of the Dead in Guatemala is a great local tradition where people gather to fly giant, intricately decorated kites to honour the dead.
The colourful Spanish architecture, the beautiful scenery, particularly the stunning lakes, and the Mayan ruins are what I love most about Guatemala!
