Upolu

in

Upolu is a large island in Samoa, with forested mountains, villages and the national capital spread along a circular coastal road, while farming, government and communal traditions remain important. The relationship between rainforest waterfalls, coastal villages and warm lagoon beaches across a volcanic island at the centre of national life and island gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Driving, swimming and short walks provide strong variety, while local etiquette and village life shape the experience. The island combines natural scenery with the country’s busiest urban area. Spending time with both rainforest waterfalls and coastal villages and warm lagoon beaches across a volcanic island at the centre of national life reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
