Great day - The tour was really well done. The places we saw were very interesting and beautiful. They stayed behind or in front of the big tours so places we visited were not croweded. The highlight of the tour was the traditional dances on the beach. So incredible to watch

Best Excursion!! - We had a wonderful excursion! It’s well worth the money as we got to see a lot of different sites, such as; Flea market (so many things), Robert Stevenson house (beautiful and very informative), Baha House of Worship, Papapapaitai Falls, Maninoa Ocean Club (for a wonderful lunch and a fabulous show), and the Sopoaga Falls!
The owner of this tour company, our guide Elijah, and Derrick (photographer) were all very informative, friendly, and professional. We had the best time! It was truly the best one we’ve been on.

Exceptional Samoa Excursion - Elijah was an unbelievable and excellent guide! He can dance, sing, play the drums, does a fire dance and explains the Tree of Life! This excursion is really worth the money! The waterfalls are amazing to see and the time at the beach was exceptional as well as the food. Our driver Ieni was excellent. We really learned a lot about Samoa and their culture. They took extra steps to make sure we all had an exceptional experience! You can’t go wrong with this excursion!

A Must See Tour in Apia - The tour stops were amazing and truly local. We went to the Apia market and a private beach where we were treated to a yummy lunch and fire dance and hula show. We also went to the Suva trench. What an awesome adventure it has to be to climb down the ladder and swim!! We also went to Immaculate Conception Church which was breathtakingly beautiful!!

Excellent cruise ship independent shore excursion - Tour Samoa’s Highlights tour of Apia, Lunch, plus Island Show was a great cruise ship independent shore excursion from the port of Apia.
Facebook page postings and email correspondence with written details prior to our cruise were very helpful. We paid in cash on the day of our tour, and the fee included all entry fees and lunch. On our ship’s arrival to the port, we walked to the right around a large building to find Tour Samoa’s vehicle in the independent tour bus parking area.
Unfortunately, the start of our tour was delayed by a booked passenger who never showed up, so I would recommend having your entire tour group meet on the ship prior to disembarking the ship.
Tufu, our lead guide, Elijah, the fire dancer/guide, and Tony, the driver with Livingstone Bus Way were all very nice and helpful. Elijah was very responsive to questions about tattooing. Tasi and Ali’is of Samoa Polynesian Dance Group were outstanding and the To Sua Ocean Trench was spectacular!
US dollars were accepted at the Fugalei Market, so we did not need to change money.
All in all , it was a fun, active, interesting and educational day that was great for a first time visit to Apia, taking us to more attractions at a lower price that any ship shore excursion.
