    Samoa has two main islands - Savaii and Upolu. This itinerary will help you explore Upolo Island. If you'd like to explore both islands - see our Samoa self-drive featuring Upolu and Savaii

    Upolu island is home to natural beauty just waiting to be explored; enticing white sands, tempting blue lagoons, fantastic diving and opportunities to snorkel or fish along the coast.

    That said, you'll soon discover there's much more to this island than it's beaches. Delving into the island's hidden interior, you could follow one of the many tracks that lead you deeper into lush rainforest with thundering waterfalls where days just disappear into a haze of lazy swimming and relaxing.

    If you're looking for towns, Apia is the hub of Upolu island and is home to the colourful Maketi Fou (food market) plus plenty of nightlife to enjoy when you are ready for a bit more action.

    • Explore Upolo island independently by car
    • Swim in the magnificent To Sua Ocean Trench sinkhole
    • Expore the lava cliffs and volcanic landscapes
    • Trek into hidden rainforest and discover waterfalls and pools
    • Shop in local Samoan markets and live like a local

    The best time to visit Samoa is between May and October during dry season. This is also when many major Samoan festivals are held. During the wet season from November to April the islands can be very wet and are prone to the odd tropical cyclone. December and January is peak time in Samoa with many Australians and New Zealanders heading there over the holiday period. The average annual temperature in coastal areas is around 26 degrees.
