    About Samoa

    Samoa, officially known as the Independent State of Samoa, is a beautiful island country located in the South Pacific Ocean. The country is made up of two main islands, Upolu and Savai'i, along with several smaller islands. The currency used in Samoa is the Samoan Tala (WST). With its stunning natural landscapes, including pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and majestic waterfalls, Samoa offers a paradise-like experience for travelers. The country is also known for its rich Polynesian culture, warm hospitality, and traditional Samoan way of life.

    When to visit

    The best time to visit Samoa is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the weather is generally sunny and pleasant, with lower humidity and less rainfall. The wet season, from November to April, can bring heavy rain and tropical storms, but it also offers lush greenery and fewer crowds. It's important to note that Samoa is located in the South Pacific cyclone belt, so travelers should be aware of the potential for cyclones during the wet season.
