Highly, highly recommend this tour!! Every minute, every stop amazing and you've GOT to see/swim the trench! - Fantastic day with our driver Tasi. Swimming in the "trench" was a once in a lifetime, amazing experience. The lunch stop at Coconut beach with fire dance performances was simply unbelievable and the best of our 22-day trip. They pulled out all the stops and treated everyone so friendly and welcoming. We also stopped at temples, churches, the waterfalls, saw amazing flora, the RL Stevenson home. Tasi was so informative and also one of the performers! This is a newer tour company that I would highly, highly recommend. Well worth every penny and the best day we had by far.

Absolutely Brilliant - We booked this independently from our cruise ship. We were away for 3 months and this trip was one of the best we took! The guys who took us around were so engaging, interesting, passionate about their island & happy to share stories of their lives. The trip was non-stop and we saw sooo much. The sights and sounds were amazing and the people were lovely. All of the trip was fabulous, but the highlights were the resort which was the closest I've seen to paradise, and the entertainment was outstanding; also, the water hole, where we had a quick swim. We would absolutely go again if we're ever lucky enough to be back in Samoa, Thanks guys for a brilliant day (sorry it's taken so long to write this!!). Chrissy & Scott

A wonderful day in Samoa! - My husband and I had a simply spectacular day with Tour Samoa! They packed in so much content into six hours, including a cathedral and temple, a local market, the Stevenson Museum, a beautiful private beach/lunch and show, a coconut opening demonstration, and more! I feel like we saw absolutely everything Samoa had to offer and all from the comfort of an air-conditioned van with padded seats (if you've recently been to American Samoa, you know why this is key!!). The hosts were knowledgeable and very good communicators, and the driver was safe and thoughtful. Just can't say enough good things about this great tour! Highly recommended!

A Tour Not to be Missed - We had the best day! Our day was perfectly organized, the sites and experiences were varied and well chosen, and we had a fantastic tour guide, who was a wealth of information. We had excellent communication with our tour guide prior to the tour and on the tour itself. This tour is top notch, provides a fulsome sense of Apia, and it has my highest recommendation.

A brilliant tour - This was an exceptional tour. Our guide/ driver were brothers, Elijah and Neesa( spelling may be wrong) and kept us informed and amused with their friendly banter. I cannot believe what was packed in....I honestly reckon there was nothing else to do on Samoa that was not included, except perhaps have time to swim at the resort ( if less time with cruise guests being included in the entertainment I think this could be achieved) Food, drink, care, entertainment, efficiency were all brilliant, the highlight of the cruise so far ( a long one!)...what a wonderful experience! You will not be disappointed!!
