5 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.

Bring the kids along to Lalomanu Beach and Papaseea Sliding Rock. Step out of Apia with an excursion to To Sua Ocean Trench in Lotofaga--about 1h 5 min away. There's much more to do: explore the fascinating underground world of Piula Cave Pool, take in the dramatic scenery at Papapapaitai Falls, take an in-depth tour of Robert Louis Stevenson Museum, and pause for some serene contemplation at Immaculate Conception Cathedral.
