Samoa, a trip to the end of the world The discovery of the Samoa islands goes through Apia, the main city of the archipelago. It is on the north coast of the island of Upolu, in the heart of the natural port of the island. A stroll through the streets of Apia promises to be a visit to museums for lovers of culture and old stones. The city indeed has many monuments, imprints of Western civilization in the archipelago. Among Apia's essential sites are the cathedral, the symbol of the city, the court of justice and its colonial style architecture, but also the clock tower, erected in memory of the war. Did the Ile au Trésor fascinated you during your childhood? Take advantage of your visit to Apia to go in the footsteps of Robert Louis Stevenson, its author. In Vailima, visit his house converted into a museum to know more about his past and his daily experience. Also walk the Mont Vaea, which culminates at 472 meters, to collect you on the tomb of the famous writer. Then continue your Apia visit with a stroll through the stalls of the crazy makei market. After Apia, continue your adventure in the Samoa Islands by a stopover in the Pololo DEP Marine Natural Reserve. Put on your mask and snorkel and immerse the depths to meet multiple tropical fish with shimmering colors. After the diving, take the road that leads to Agonoa Black Sand Beach beach for idleness in the sun punctuated with a few swimming in ideally heated water. Want to admire the lush vegetation of the tropics? Go to Cross Island Road to see near the crystal clear waterfapai water waterfalls which such as the bride's fine sail, gently descend along the mountain side. The highlight of a stay in the Samoa, the Savai’i island is a haven of peace conducive to relaxation. Here, you can spend your days lounging in the sun, on little frequented beaches, walking through the lava formations left by volcanoes or swimming in the middle of the turtles. Samoa islands, when to visit them? The Samoa Islands benefit from a tropical climate which is divided into two distinct seasons: a dry season from May to November and a rainy season that goes from December to April. In general, the dry season is the perfect time to go to the Samoa. However, if you want to take advantage of the optimal weather conditions, plan your stay between June and September. During this time of year, the weather is often sunny and the rains are rare. The trade winds often come to refresh the airs, thus attenuating the too strong heat, which makes the walks even more pleasant.
