What To Expect
Piula Cave Pool
Though the pool is close to the shoreline, the freshness and the coolness of the water the cave provides is highly admired by the tourist and the local people who visited and took a dive in the Fatumea Cave Pool of Piula Theological College. So why not come down and experience the coolness and freshness of the pool? Afio mai! Come and see for yourself.
Take in breathtaking panoramic views at Le Mafa Pass, where lush, jungle-clad mountains stretch as far as the eye can see.

Knowledgable Guides, Well Organized, GREAT stops

5.00What a fantastic tour. Our guide, Shawn was incredibly knowledgeable. Throughout the day we were on the move. Even when we were driving for a long stretches of time, we would stop every 15 minutes or so to see absolutely breathtaking attractions on the roadside. I would highly, highly recommend this tour. We learned so much about Samoan culture, Shawn was an amazing guide, and the places that we went were beautiful - especially the swimming stops. A lot of the swimming holes that we went to were deserted, it was literally just us there! It almost felt like we had a completely private tour of the island. Also, there were NO tourist traps, everything felt very local and authentic.
Amazing day in Samoa with Janette!

5.00Janette is absolutely AMAZING! She picked us up at our hotel and immediately it was like we were visiting a friend. It was raining pretty hard so she modified the tour to avoid the flooded roads which was exactly what we needed. We enjoyed our tour to experience and learn about Samoa beyond what we could’ve done on our own. Highly recommend!!!
Amazing day tour - so many exciting things, plus awesome guide

5.00Absolutely amazing! Our guide was awesome - she's part Samoan and part Australian and extremely knowledgeable, passionate and full of energy. She made the tour so much fun. The sites we went to were all pretty cool too - Bahai centre, waterfalls, the Trench (must do!), Lalomano beach, cave pools etc were great. I felt I had seen and done soooo much in just 8 hours. Highly recommended. Bring swimming gear, a towel, and a smile and you'll have an amazing time.
Awesome

5.00Great tour, highly recommend and we really appreciate the amazing day! This is all you have to do to see Samoa. Great swimming, great views. With our tour guide, she was very informative and English speaking so understood easily. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was easy and a very friendly group!
So thoughtfully done & solo travellers accepted. Excellent tour

5.00Such a fantastically excellent day tour, thoughtfully done, and really well paced, so plenty of time to take in each of the amazing highlights of Upolu scenery. Shawn had plenty of great stories, and was so factually informative. Great to have a local tour guide who is clearly passionate about Samoan history & heritage. Accepted solo travellers (when other companies only accepted 2 as a minimum). Very highly recommended!
Great day tour

5.00We really enjoyed our day tour with Shawn. We learned a lot about Samoan culture, history, and nature. The locations were all beautiful with plenty of swimming opportunities. We had plenty of time to spend at each location and never felt rushed. Overall a great experience and an excellent introduction to this beautiful country, would highly recommend. Thank you!

5.00This is a love letter to the best possible guide I could have wished for to help explore the breathtaking vistas of Samoa. Janette is one of the coolest and most beautiful people I've ever met and it was like hanging out with a dear friend who is excited to share with you all the gems of her homeland. Instantly felt at ease and welcomed, and with her personal history with Samoa had so much knowledge to share. We had a blast sharing stories and laughing while I gasped at the beautiful scenery and gorgeous spots she took me to. I am terrified of heights nor can I swim - but wanted so desperately to go down to the To Sua Ocean Trench down the treacherous looking ladder and experience it for myself, and through her careful coaching and guidance I did it and it was soooo amazing. She also was super flexible and instead of taking me back to Apia, happily dropped me off at Manusina Beach Fales where I was staying for a few days (also amazing). We also had lunch at a gorgeous spot where she was also fantastic company. So professional yet so personable - we had such a fun day together... Thank you so much Janette for the incredible memories just frolicking together through insane nature while learning so much about Samoa <3
