The island for finding your bearings
The discovery can associate Apia, interior landscapes and coastal stages. A well-placed base allows you to vary the outputs without changing room too often.

The Pacific at a gentle pace.
Upolu’s shores, the Savai’i landscapes and a very present island culture. Another way to meet the Pacific.
At every wish, his journey
Upolu, Savai’i or both?
The Samoa offers a discovery that is not just on the beaches. Villages, landscapes and local usages are part of the journey. The choice of the islands and the level of comfort allows to build a gentle and attentive parenthese to the life of the places.
These ideas help you to choose a direction. Caroline then studies with you the steps, links and possible benefits for your dates.

What you come to find.
Time for a second island
Volcanic landscapes and villages invite to take a different rhythm. Travelling and transfers must be coordinated with the available nights.
The encounter before the setting
Usages, access to places and moments of visit are prepared with respect. Open accommodation on the beach and a hotel with more services match different expectations.
Drawing the right steps
A long journey, simply organised
Air and island connections must guide the calendar. A few nights in each place are better than a quick passage. Keep a margin to get to the departure airport and distinguish Samoa and American Samoa well.
An itinerary idea to personalise
A discovery can remain focused on Upolu or include Savai’i with several nights on the site. A combination with another Pacific country is constructed only if the connections and total time remain consistent.

The guide to make your choices
Prepare your discovery.
Which period should you choose?
Tropical conditions and transportation orient the choice of dates. The proposal should check the possibilities for your steps and provide flexibility in the days outside.
What will influence your budget
Transportation to destination, the category and location of the nights, travel on the site and accompanied visits are compared together. Give Caroline a cover and your priorities: the project can be adjusted by playing on the steps, comfort or duration, before you stop the services.
Before booking
The formalities and conditions of access are checked for your nationality, your situation and the scheduled dates. Updated practical information is to be consulted with the competent authorities; the report describes the services effectively offered.
Before you launch
Your questions about Samoa.
Are Samoa an automatic extension of Polynesia?
not to. These are two distinct destinations, with links and formalities to study. A combination must be built for its stages and real transport time.
How can I plan my Samoa trip with Odyssée Voyages?
Contact Caroline by phone or by email with your dates, duration, number of travellers and priorities. A first study allows to clarify the possibilities, before any detailed proposal.
Are these ideas matching an already scheduled accompanying start?
not to. This page is an inspiration for a personalized project. The accompanied departies actually published are presented in the accompanied travel section, with their own information.
Take discovery further
Samoa: discover islands at the pace of village life
A coast bordered with coco, open waves on the village's life, a cascade in vegetation: the Samoa find themselves in the landscapes and in a way of living the islands. The journey gains to stay attentive to this everyday life. The beaches are not an isolated decor; they are registered in a territory and local uses.
Upolu and Savai’i give two additional entry points. The choice of accommodation, mobility and the number of steps determines your experience: discover every day, find a familiar beach or alter both. We are looking for a balance between comfort, travel time and understanding of the country, without promising a meeting that cannot be scheduled.
Two directions to shape your journey
What thread will connect your itinerary?
Ideas for discovery to personalise according to your dates, pace and local possibilities.
Upolu, between Apia and coastal landscapes
Upolu allows you to associate an Apia discovery with stages near the sea and in the green interior. Markets, heritage and pauses in the city bring a counterpoint to beach days. The route is built according to the points of interest selected, with attention to the location of the nights to avoid unnecessarily travelling the island.
Cascades and coasts can give a wire to your days, without filling them with visits. For natural sites, access conditions, uses and sea status are checked locally. We also keep free time: an island stay takes another dimension when you can simply prolong a break in a loved place.
Savai’i: giving more room to the landscape
A sequence in Savai’i allows to expand the discovery with a different scale of space and pace. The volcanic landscapes of Saleaula, the villages and the coastline make up a separate wire than that of Apia. The connection with Upolu must be integrated as a real transition, with its transfers and the confirmed conditions of the transport chosen.
Instead of a fast passage, several nights allow you to distribute the discoveries and enjoy the accommodation environment. A part of the road, a walk and a quiet day can change. The journey does not aim to see everything: it allows you to distinguish the places that attract you and dedicate them the time they ask for.
The comfort that suits you
A hole on the edge of the water and a accommodation with more services do not offer the same privacy or the same equipment. We specify these expectations before selecting addresses and services.
Respect for places
Natural beaches and sites belong to families or villages. Requesting access, following local indications and asking for agreement before taking pictures are part of the discovery; accompaniment helps to understand these uses.
Your choice of mobility
Driving or predicting accompanied discoveries changes your daily life. We study the steps based on this preference and rental conditions, rather than assuming that a car is essential throughout the stay.
Give the journey the right pace
The program should take into account the time granted to villages and local uses, especially on Sunday. We avoid full days when you want to enjoy the island more peacefully. Keeping a margin around the crossroads and international departure also makes the stay more pleasant, without making every transfer a race against the schedule.
Extend without spreading too thin
The Samoa can sign up for a broader trip to the Ocean when the connections allow it. However, a step in New Zealand or the Fidji must have its own duration and interest. If the calendar is limited, deepening Upolu and Savai’i allows you to keep a real coherence rather than adding a country for a few nights.
