Option 2 – Samoa Bike & Kayak $3999

Day 1 – Nu’usafe’e Island Paddle

After a briefing we will fit your kayaks to you and set off for Nu’usafe’e Island.  The trip begins with a 5 km paddle within the reef giving you plenty of time to get acquainted with your kayak.   As we approach Nu’usafe’e we cross the inner reef and have a number of choices on how we approach the Island.  For confident groups this can be a chance to try their skills in small surf and to experience the open ocean swells.

The island is uninhabited and has two beautiful white sand beaches and its own private lagoon.  We stop for a leisurely lunch, swim, snorkel and explore but no-one is in a rush to leave.    The nearby mangroves at Poutasi provide a calm contrast and are always worth a tour if people can be persuaded to leave the island.

Another alternative for very experienced groups is an afternoon paddle down the coast to Aganoa Beach and on to Sinalei Resort.  However this is an open ocean paddle with an exposed lee shore and will only be done in the right conditions and with a group that is clearly capable.

Day 2 – Aleipata Islands Paddle

There is much to see in the Aleipata islands, but some of the best is dependent on swell, tides and wind, so the itinerary is always flexible for these three days.

Day 3 – Namua Island Paddle

Normally we will put in at Lalomanu and paddle to Namua Island.  The route is dependent on swell conditions but with a little luck we will be able to exit through one of the small reef channels and cruise past Nuutele Island.  As we approach the Island we will be closely monitored by large boobies that soar and swoop above us.

Dolphins are often present in the main bay and as we approach the main channel back into the lagoon we are likely to see large turtles on the surface.

Our destination for the day is Namua Island which will be our base for 2 nights.  The fale resort is located on a very sheltered, sandy beach and being the only habitation on the island , with no electricity there is a real sense of a tranquil, remote getaway.   It’s a great place to relax, but also a fun place to explore.  At low tide it is possible to scramble around the base of the island, exploring the hidden beaches on the exposed East coast.  The climb to the top of the island is also well worth the effort for the views over the reefs and bays, and a chance to study the seabirds soaring close to the cliffs.

Day 4 – Fanuatapu Island Paddle

Fanuatapu lies on the edge of the reef with a sheltered beach within the lagoon.  From the lighthouse at the top we get a close up view of frigate birds in aerial dog-fights with searwaters and other smaller birds (frigates lack waterproofing oil in their feathers and feed either by skimming the sea surface or stealing food from other birds).  On clear days American Samoa is visible 70 kms away on the horizon.

On the return from Fanuatapu there are opportunities to snorkel over the coral gardens.

Day 5 – Nuutele Island Paddle

Nuutele lies entirely outside the reef and so access is dependent on swell conditions.  The cliffs on the East side are home to numerous seabirds and we get a unique view of them nesting in the cliff holes and clifftop trees.  If conditions are right we will land at the abandoned Leper Colony which is located on a spectacular beach. The remains of the colony are still present, but the storm debris spread almost 100 metres inland to the foot of the old buildings is stark reminder of how isolated and tough living here must have been.  There is a resident pod of dolphins in the bay and we have occasionally had whales breach nearby.

Day 6 – Nuulua Island Paddle

This is the most remote and exposed island in the group.  The only landing place is on the exposed Eastern side so we are more likely to admire the birds and cliffs from the water than land.

Day 7 – transfer to Bike tour in Apia

We will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your choice of either Le Vasa Hotel or a village homestay.  The hotel is ideal for traveller wanting an afternoon of luxury, while the homestay suits those arriving in the evening and provides an introduction to Samoa in a modern home with local hosts.

Day 8 – To Matareva (32 kms)

After fitting the bikes and a full briefing the 15 km gentle ride around the coast is a very pleasant introduction to village life.  At Falelatai the road heads steeply uphill for 2kms. However, you get to the top the views over lagoons are well worth stopping for.  The downhill section is only partly sealed but the road improves for the last 3 kms around the coast to Le Faga bay in Savaia home of the Giant Clams .

Follow the Main South Coast Road into the centre of the village (100m) where it turns left.  Then turn right in another 100m by the school and continue parallel to the coast.  At 2kms the road ends in a T junction, turn left and climb gently then turn right onto the Main South Coast Road at 4kms.  5 kms – Turnoff to Matarava Beach.  Survivor Australia is currently being filmed nearby and we will advise which of the two roads is open on the day. This is a hidden gem and lovely picnic and swimming spot. It’s 4 kms downhill to the beach and there is a small road toll.

Day 9 – Matareva Beach Day

Matareva Beach Fales are located on a secluded and private lagoon.  The resort has recently reopened under new management and is rapidly regaining its reputation as one of the hidden gems of Upolu.  Relax on the beach, swim in the lagoon or explore the surrounding beaches.

Day 10 – Matareva to Vai Villas (12kms)

Today’s ride is only 12 kms to Vai Villas which is situated on the mangrove swamps and Lua and Jills hospitality and great food make it a memorable stay.

Day 11 – Vai Villas to Tafatafa Beach – Togitogigi Falls  (24kms)

The route follows the undulating sealed coast road and while it’s easy to focus on just getting  to the destination, there is a lot to do along the way.  Potential stops include the Sinalei resort for a taste of luxury, Aganoa Black sands beach for a remote sandy beach with good snorkelling and the walk to the Ma Tree.  But my favourite is a long swim at Togitogiga waterfalls. Your ride ends on the lagoon beach at Tafatafa.  With clear water, safe swimming, fales at the water’s edge.

8 kms – Maninoa.  This bay is home to Coconuts and Sinalei Resorts with the fiafia Club nestled in between.

10 kms – Cross Island Road junction.

14 kms – Ma tree and Coastal Walkway. It’s a short forest walk to this tree with large buttress roots.  Directly opposite is

the road down to the coastal walkway. This runs along the top of the lava cliffs.

16 kms – Togitogiga Falls.  One of the best freshwater swims in Samoa.  The turnoff is well signposted and it’s only a

very short ride to the changing rooms and toilets by the falls.  The pools are a good place to cool off, but the

adventurous will jump the falls.

19 kms Poutasi Development Trust arts centre.  Poutasi was destroyed in the 2009 Tsunami.

Here you can try your hand at various crafts or just buy well-made local items.  Judging by how long our

groups spend here – it’s a popular stop.

23 kms – Take the third turnoff to beautiful Tafatafa Beach

Day 12 – Tafatafa Beach Day

After a full schedule of riding and kayaking you may be ready for a relaxing beach day. Tafatafa Beach is a stunning white sand beach.

Nearby at Vaiula Beach Fales Nugg runs a great bar/lunch and Dave is a renowned fishing guide who can offer fishing trips inside and outside the reef. There is also a lava tube tour you can ask about.

Alternatively take the optional kayak tour to Nuusafee Island.  A deserted tropical island with its own beach and lagoon (additional cost).

Day 13 – Namua Island getaway (31kms)

Get on your bikes early as there is a lot to do again today. 13 kms down the road is To Sua Trench. This collapsed lava tube is one of the picture postcard attractions of Samoa  with the steep ladder leading down into the sea water pools. The trench and surrounds deserve a couple of hours at  least. Take in the seascape, blowholes, beach and history along with a gentle swim in the pool.

When you eventually drag yourselves out of the pool, ride another 13 kms to Lalomanu Beach and then on to Namua Wharf where you can catch the ferry to Namua Island. The fale resort is the only habitation on the island and is located on a sheltered sandy beach.

Day 14 – Namua Island to Le Uaina (40 kms 400m climb)

Catch the ferry back to the mainland and make sure that you start early so that you are climbing up to Le Mafa pass in the cool of the day. We recommend that you return along the coast and take the cross island road just past Lotofaga. Take in the waterfalls along the way and then at Le Mafa Pass you are rewarded with great views looking down to the North coast. It’s a pleasant ride down and along to Le Uaina. At le Uaina you can snorkel out to the reserve to see a variety of coral and reef fish. Piula Cave Pool is just next door also.

Le Uaina is a comfortable waterside hotel fashioned more like a traditional NZ motel.

Day 15 – Le Uaina to Apia

Just after you start make a point of visiting Piula Cave Pool (if you missed it the day before) which is a very refreshing  pool below the historic Methodist Chapel at Piula. It’s then a coastal cycle till you reach the hectic pace of Apia. You need to head down towards the waterfront and then further along past the government buildings till you reach the Amanaki Hotel. You may have time to do a little sightseeing.

Day 16 – Homeward bound

Depending on your flight time you may have time to explore Apia. Apia has a lot to see. If you are up early enough visit the fish markets to see several colourful and large fish. The flea market has many local handicrafts. The Cultural village behind the visitors centre is well worth a visit. By taxi you can visit the Sliding rocks, Robert Louis Stevenson Museum to see his home & resting place and stop off at the soap factory which is a nice place to purchase souvenirs. Further up the Cross Island is the Bahai Temple set in tranquil grounds overlooking Apia. Palolo Deep, just out of Apia, is a great place to snorkel but best visited when the tides are near high tide.

Option 3 – Mount Kenya, Africa $6184
