Introduction to Savai'a, Samoa
Savai'i is not a country but the largest island of the South Pacific island nation of Samoa, located northwest of the main island of Upolu. The cradle of Samoan culture, Savai'i is known for its pristine rainforests, volcanic landscapes and traditional villages. The island's highest peak is Mt. Silisili at 1,858 meters and is surrounded by spectacular lava fields and caves.
Natural and human characteristics
Savaya retains a strong Polynesian heritage, with villagers living in open-plan "fale" houses, often in family units. Attractions include the Alofaaga Blowholes, the Falealupo Canopy Walk rainforest suspension bridge, and the centuries-old giant Tafa Tree. The local economy is based on agriculture, fishing and eco-tourism, and visitors can experience unique cultures such as kava ceremonies and handicraft making.
Practical information for traveling
To get to Savaya you need to arrive by ferry from Upolu Island. The island's infrastructure is relatively simple and it is recommended to set aside 2-3 days for in-depth exploration. The best time to travel is during the dry season from May to October, but note that some areas require respect for village customs and permission to enter.
