Amoa Village Walk + Beach Swim

Join us for an informal yet educational local village discovery tour.  Departing from the hotel, there is no set itinerary, it’s not necessary as we always get the chance to see many interesting sights.  Our turn-around point is picturesque Luua Beach where you can swim or just relax in one of the fales (beach huts) before we head back to the resort.

Amoa Village Walk + Fine Mat Weaving

This tour is the same as the previous Village Walk excepting we alternate the beach swim with a visit to the local womens committee to see traditional "Ie toga" or fine mats being made.  The mats are highly regarded in Samoan culture and often presented at ceremonies as a mark of respect or worn by a "taupo" or high chiefs daughter performing traditional dance.

Coconut Cream & Weaving Demonstration

We reveal the many uses of the coconut considered by the Samoan people as the tree of life.  We will show you how to husk a coconut using traditional tools as well make natural and organic coconut cream.  Youll also be able to try your hand at traditional basket weaving from coconut palms.   An optional extended version is also available to make some decorative pieces.

Local Bus Tour to the Market

We depart the resort after breakfast for a fun and unforgettable ride on one of Savaiis brightly adorned and musical buses.  Once we arrive to Salelologas new market we explore all the stalls with everything from fresh produce to local handicrafts, foods, materials, local medicines and more.  The tour concludes at the market before we return by bus to the resort.
