Samoa Island Holidays

Discover the beautiful islands of Samoa, an incredible destination and now is the perfect time to start planning. With its lush landscapes, pristine beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality, Samoa is an unforgettable getaway.  Samoa offers a true island paradise experience. It’s not just about relaxing on stunning beaches—though that’s a big part of it—but it’s also about immersing yourself in the local culture. From exploring volcanic craters to experiencing traditional Samoan ceremonies, it’s an ideal destination for those looking for both adventure and relaxation.

Samoa Suggested Itinerary

When planning your itinerary to Samoa, we would recommend starting with a few days in Apia, the capital, to explore the local markets, museums, and historic sites. From there, head to the stunning beaches of the southern coast, like Lalomanu Beach, where you can snorkel, swim with turtles, or simply enjoy the crystal-clear water. You can also visit the To-Sua Ocean Trench, a breathtaking natural swimming hole that’s perfect for a swim or a photo op. If you’re up for some adventure, I recommend hiking to the top of Mount Vaea, where you’ll have incredible views of the island.

Samoa Culture

Samoa offers a great mix of culture, nature, and adventure! Ensure to make time to experience the Samoan culture. Take part in a traditional ‘ava ceremony, where you’ll drink the local kava, and don’t miss out on the fiafia nights, which feature lively Samoan dancing and music. Samoa is also known for its beautiful waterfalls, like the Papase’ea Sliding Rocks—where you can slide down natural rock slides into the cool water below!

How long to stay in Samoa?

I’d recommend at least 7-10 days for your Samoa holiday. This gives you enough time to explore the main islands, experience the culture, and unwind on some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. If you want to do more island hopping, we can help arrange that too!

Samoa Travel Tips

As always Book early, as Samoa is a popular destination, and the best resorts can fill up fast. I’d also recommend booking cultural tours or activities in advance to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the island’s amazing experiences.

Solomon Islands

Solomon Islands—a hidden gem in the Pacific! It’s an incredible destination for 2025 or 2026, and now’s the perfect time to start planning. With its pristine beaches, rich WWII history, and vibrant culture, the Solomon Islands is an unforgettable adventure.  If you’re looking for a warm, tropical getaway, the Solomon Islands is perfect. It’s less commercialized than some other destinations, which means you get a more authentic, laid-back experience. Whether you’re diving into WWII wrecks, exploring lush jungles, or relaxing on a quiet beach, the Solomons offer it all.

Solomon Islands Suggested Itinerary

When planning your holiday to the Solomon Islands we recommend you start in Honiara, the capital, and explore the local markets and cultural sites. From there, head to the Western Province, known for its beautiful islands like Gizo and Munda. You can dive or snorkel around WWII wrecks and coral reefs, or even take a boat trip to visit remote villages. If you’re into adventure, a hike to the Tetepare Island rainforests is a must-do.  Ensure to make time to visit the Marovo Lagoon—it’s the world’s largest saltwater lagoon, and its crystal-clear waters are perfect for kayaking, fishing, or just relaxing. You can also learn about the fascinating history of the Solomon Islands, especially WWII, with a visit to some of the battle sites and memorials scattered around the islands.
