Savaii
is the bigger of the two main islands of Samoa.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery, the nice villages and
the relaxed Samoan lifestyle.
Salelologa is the main port and market place on the
island. You will also find banks and stores here. In
Tuasivi there also is a Police station and a
Hospital. (map)
Main
touristic attraction in Savaii are the Blowholes in
Taga at the Southernmost tip of the island (see
photo). The water cascades reach heights of up to
100 feet.
Close to Lauiula Beach Fales in Lano is the
1905-1911 Lava field, where whole villages
disappeared under the lava flowing out of a nearby
crater. You can visit the remains of the churches,
buried under the lava and the famous Virgin's Grave,
where a young maiden's grave was miraculously spared
from being covered by the lava.
Other attractions include the Falealupo Peninsula
with the famous Canopy Walk and 'Swimming with
Turtles' in Fagamalo.
You
can easily go around the island in one day with your
rental car or the resort's tour van. |
