Due to the tropical climate and fertile soils, the rainforests of Samoa are a lush and vibrant paradise. Native wildlife such as seabirds, skinks, flying foxes, geckos, as well as a plethora of unique flora call the forests home. Le Pupu-Pue National Park on Upolu is one of the best with extensive walking tracks and a listed 42 bird species. Tafua Peninsula Rainforest Reserve, in the southeast, is another bird watchers haven where you may see the rare Samoan tooth-billed pigeon. In the Falealupo Rainforest Reserve, take the treetop canopy walkway built about 40 metres above the ground among giant Banyan trees!

Under the waters surrounding the islands of Samoa, beautiful coral gardens are teeming with an astonishing 900 species of fishes and 200 varieties of corals. The coast from Lalomanu to Lotofaga has plenty of swimming and snorkelling beaches. Samoan Island Adventures organises snorkelling trips as well as tours and scooter rentals.

The S'edav Va'aki Museum, formerly known as the Pueblo Grande Museum, offers a fascinating journey into the history and ancient cultures of the Phoenix area, particularly the Hohokam people. Located on a 1,500-year-old archaeological site, visitors can explore an outdoor interpretive trail that features the remnants of a Hohokam ballcourt, the prehistoric platform mound, ancient canal systems, and replicas of traditional Hohokam housing. The interpretive agricultural garden also highlights the innovative farming techniques used in the desert. Inside, the museum houses three educational galleries that dive deeper into the archaeology, history, and daily life of the Hohokam civilization. Through interactive exhibits and artifacts, guests can gain a richer understanding of how this ancient culture thrived in the harsh desert landscape.
