Where is Samoa?

Samoa is a tropical island paradise in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean, only a few hours away from major hubs like Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, Fiji, and Hawai’i. It’s also the first place in the world where you can watch the sunrise each day. 

Why should you go to Samoa?

Lush jungle-covered mountains, cascading waterfalls, roaring natural blowholes, glistening white sand beaches, year-round tropical climate—need we say more?   

The Samoan people's warm, welcoming, and authentic hospitality perfectly complements the archipelago's rugged natural beauty, creating a great, relaxing atmosphere. Free from massive crowds or overwhelming tourist traps, you'll find more competitive and affordable rates than other South Pacific destinations, regardless of whether you're on a family vacation, a destination wedding, a romantic honeymoon, or a spontaneous solo trip. Sites like the mesmerizing To Sua Ocean Trench, Papaseea Sliding Rock, Alofaaga Blowholes, Sale'aula Lava Fields, and abundant water activities promise incredible island escapes without sacrificing quality or value. 

How do you get to Samoa?

Connect to Samoa from North American gateways like Vancouver, Los Angeles and Dallas via Fiji with Fiji Airways or, alternatively, via Auckland, New Zealand with Air New Zealand. Samoa's proximity to Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii also makes it a great addition to any multi-destination trip in the South Pacific.

Born to two parents who met travelling, Sael has always wanted to travel the world. Sael has hiked the Inca Trail in Peru, visited blue-footed boobies on the Galapagos Islands, stood on both hemispheres of the equator in Ecuador, climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, hiked the base of Uluru, surfed Pacific Ocean waves in Mexico, and skydived over the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns. Meeting new people and sharing stories are some of Sael's favourite parts of travelling, and he hopes he can help ignite this passion for discovery in others.
