Tour Samoa's Amazing Tour of Apia! - I am pleased to offer my wholehearted recommendation for Tour Samoa – Apia Highlights Shore Excursion and its exceptionally personable and intelligent tour guide. Our experience with this excursion was outstanding from start to finish.
From the moment we met our guide, it was clear we were in excellent hands. Not only was our guide warm and welcoming, but they also demonstrated deep knowledge of Samoan history, culture, and local landmarks. We were especially impressed by how thoughtfully the tour was tailored to our interests and needs, ensuring that every stop added meaning and enjoyment to our day.
We had the opportunity to see many wonderful sights throughout Apia—each one brought to life by engaging storytelling and insightful commentary. The highlight of the day was a beautiful lunch by the sea, complete with an entertaining and culturally rich show that made the experience truly unforgettable.
This excursion exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend Tour Samoa – Apia Highlights Shore Excursion to anyone seeking an enriching, memorable, and well-curated visit to Samoa.

Highly, highly recommend this tour!! Every minute, every stop amazing and you've GOT to see/swim the trench! - Fantastic day with our driver Tasi. Swimming in the "trench" was a once in a lifetime, amazing experience. The lunch stop at Coconut beach with fire dance performances was simply unbelievable and the best of our 22-day trip. They pulled out all the stops and treated everyone so friendly and welcoming. We also stopped at temples, churches, the waterfalls, saw amazing flora, the RL Stevenson home. Tasi was so informative and also one of the performers! This is a newer tour company that I would highly, highly recommend. Well worth every penny and the best day we had by far.

Absolutely Brilliant - We booked this independently from our cruise ship. We were away for 3 months and this trip was one of the best we took! The guys who took us around were so engaging, interesting, passionate about their island & happy to share stories of their lives. The trip was non-stop and we saw sooo much. The sights and sounds were amazing and the people were lovely. All of the trip was fabulous, but the highlights were the resort which was the closest I've seen to paradise, and the entertainment was outstanding; also, the water hole, where we had a quick swim. We would absolutely go again if we're ever lucky enough to be back in Samoa, Thanks guys for a brilliant day (sorry it's taken so long to write this!!). Chrissy & Scott

A wonderful day in Samoa! - My husband and I had a simply spectacular day with Tour Samoa! They packed in so much content into six hours, including a cathedral and temple, a local market, the Stevenson Museum, a beautiful private beach/lunch and show, a coconut opening demonstration, and more! I feel like we saw absolutely everything Samoa had to offer and all from the comfort of an air-conditioned van with padded seats (if you've recently been to American Samoa, you know why this is key!!). The hosts were knowledgeable and very good communicators, and the driver was safe and thoughtful. Just can't say enough good things about this great tour! Highly recommended!

Good tour except for one thing - This was an excellent tour that we did as a shire excursion during a cruise ship stop. Excellent communication prior to the tour and enjoyed all of the highlights of the island. The one thing that made me give this a lower rating was that our driver drove recklessly and fast and hit a dog along the way from one sight to another and didn’t even stop. It was completely heartbreaking and took away from the entire tour. It was hard to enjoy the stops after seeing the driver hit the little dog and not even stop. The incident was reported to the tour company and a reply was received saying they were sorry and that particular driver and vehicle was a freelance driver and vehicle hired for that day who was not a part of their company. Our guide was good and loved the sights that we visited- it is just hard to give a 5 star review after having a driver who drove fast and unsafe, and hit a dog and didn’t stop while we were his passengers on a tour. Very very sad.
