From a rich, unspoilt marine life and breath-taking waterfalls, to caves, blowholes and rainforests teeming with birds, Savai'i is third largest Polynesian island after Tahiti and New Zealand. Mostly uninhabited, Samoa’s largest island offers a wilder experience of Pacific life than ‘Upolu and is known for its pristine scenery, gentle and traditional way of life, and archaeological sites. Most of the island’s villages are scattered along the main coast road and there you will see locals relaxing in large traditional thatched houses or bathing in communal rock pools.
