In the South Pacific, between Hawaii and New Zealand, there lies an infinitely enchanting travel destination: the Isle of Samoa. Dubbed “the heart of Polynesia,” Samoa was once a German colony turned over to New Zealand in 1914 and granted independence in 1962. The Independent State of Samoa should not be confused with American Samoa, which is United States territory and southeast of the sovereign state of Samoa.
The Independent State of Samoa is a blossoming tropical country. It has beautiful volcanic peaks which plunge into sparkling coral reefs as yet untouched by mass tourism. Tourists often stay in Samoan fales (beach huts) and take up the relaxed local lifestyle. Different activities like hiking, deep sea fishing, surfing, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling and swimming await the adventurous traveler.
The local Samoan culture is very much animated and energetic. In fact, the local traditions can add an enthralling element to your time in the heart of Polynesia. Experience the best of Samoan culture at dance shows performed regularly at different hotels and resorts. Guests can indulge in sumptuous buffets of unique and authentic Samoan dishes that are sure to leave them wanting for more.
Samoan climate is sultry, hot and humid, with occasional bouts of rainy weather. The best place to be, in terms of climate, is around the shoreline where the cooling sea breeze will keep you calm cool and collected. Visitors can get the best out of tourism in Samoa during the months of May all throughout September, when the weather is nicest. The rainy season runs from the months of November to April; however, long days of bright, sunny weather are common even during these times.
Tourism in Samoa offers guests a wonderful time, whether you are traveling alone, on your honeymoon, or with your entire family. Families can enjoy doing different things together during their vacation in Samoa. Guest can go engage in thrilling water sports or alternatively spend an entire day sunbathing or pampering themselves at local spas. Also, learning a thing or two about a different culture would be great not only for the kids but also for parents.
If you are on your honeymoon, Samoa tourism can provide you with excellent choices. Celebrate your wedding at any of the beautiful beaches where the sun kisses the golden shore, where the trees sway in the mild ocean breeze. It doesn’t get any more romantic than that.
