12 days in Apia Itinerary

The Samoan capital of Apia serves as the first port of call for most visitors, and it plays home to a number of historic sites, a laid-back seaside promenade, and a range of hotels and restaurants keeping tourists entertained.

Get out of town with these interesting Apia side-trips: Lalomanu Beach (in Lalomanu) and To Sua Ocean Trench (in Lotofaga). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Samoa Cultural Village, pause for some serene contemplation at Immaculate Conception Cathedral, hunt for treasures at Old Apia Market, and see some colorful creatures with AquaSamoa.
