Brief

  • Try local specialties such as palusami (taro leaves baked with coconut cream), oka (Samoan raw fish salad), taro, breadfruit and fresh tropical fruit.
  • Samoa drives on the left. Roads outside Apia can be narrow, poorly lit and affected by heavy rain, so take care with night driving and roadside pedestrians.
  • Sunday is traditionally quiet, with many businesses and services closed or operating limited hours. Dress modestly and seek permission before entering villages or photographing people.

Safety and health

  • Dengue and Zika are mosquito-borne risks in Samoa. Use repellent, wear covering clothing and sleep under screens or nets; daytime protection is important because dengue mosquitoes commonly bite during the day. Pregnant travellers should take particular care regarding Zika. (cdc.gov | wikivoyage.org)
  • Samoa is malaria-free, but drink bottled or otherwise treated water. In the sea, wear footwear when snorkelling and avoid fire coral, sea urchins and cone shells. (wikivoyage.org)
  • A yellow-fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers aged 1 year or older arriving from a country with yellow-fever transmission, including qualifying airport transits of more than 12 hours. It is not required for direct travel from the United States. (cdc.gov)
