Fantastic experience in Samoa - We enjoyed an incredible day of Culture, history, and friendship. George, our guide shared his life experiences growing up in Samoa to bring us closer to the people and lifestyle of the communities that we visited. He shared stories passed down for generations, and gave us a colorful emotional depiction of the nation's history and its colonial past. In addition, we were given the opportunity to snorkel in one of the most pristine locations in the world, the Sua Trench. I say bravo to Tai's tour company.

Excellent tour of Samoa - This is a terrific tour around the island. Chief Chris was our guide and we learned so much about Samoa and its people. The sites we saw were exactly what we wanted plus some we didn’t know about

Had a great day on this... - Had a great day on this small group tour. We learned a lot about Samoa’s history and culture from our terrific guide as we made our way around this beautiful island. The tour was well paced so that we got to see a lot but didn’t spend too much time in any one location. We felt we really got a sense of the island. Loved it!

When dreams become a reality.... Our lagi malofie journey... - In November 2024 I reached out to Chief Tai for his expertise, guidance and assistance in planning a lagi malofie (tatau) experience for my 3 cousins and a malu for my niece. Chief Tai exceeded our expectations by organising our entire trip from start to finish. This included accommodation, transportation (airport transfers, vehicles, ferry to/from Savaii), the tufuga - Savaii Tatau, and a full-day cultural tour to kick start our journey. His extensive knowledge of the culture, local practices, traditions and folklore captivated us, and his passion for his beloved culture rekindled our love for it as well. We are immensely grateful to Chief Tai for sharing his wisdom with us and for helping us reconnect with our heritage. You have truly turned our dreams into reality! Faafetai lava, Chief Tai!

Review of full day in Samoa tour - This was one of the best tours we have had. Chris, our guide, was informative, sensitive to the needs of the group and had a wonderful variety of things to show us on Samoa. We felt we got good value for the money!

First class would highly recommend - This was one of the best tours we have ever done. We had Chief Tai and our friends had one of his colleagues and everyone was in agreement that Chief Tai and his colleagues were fantastic. We got to see so much of Samoa and experience its fantastic warm and friendly culture. First class!

Expectations not met / stations of the itinerary not met, although sufficient time - Unfortunately, the planned itinerary was not followed on the pretext that there was not enough time for it. That wasn't the case. Instead of visiting the 'dream beach' LALOMANO beach (which is why we booked this excursion in the first place), the hotel resort was 'served' by an obviously good acquaintance. Without an exact timeline, the travelers - after a relatively long drive - ultimately stayed for about 1 hour on a hotel's own stretch of beach, which really had none of the highlights - while Tai enjoyed it at the restaurant for lunch. Nevertheless - the tour guide was friendly, experienced and entertaining. Unfortunately, the island lacks bookable alternatives.
