Overview

• You will receive invaluable historical and cultural insight as High Chief Tai and his associates take you to visit Namua Island where you can snorkel, spot and swim with wild turtles. You will be taken back by a little boat to the main island where the tour will continue on to the ever famous Lalomanu Beach where you can buy a nice cold drink or even jump in the ocean again. Our other stops include Vavau Beach where Survivor Reality Show was filmed, To Sua Ocean Trench and Sopoaga Falls where you will see how we make coconut cream and other cultural demonstrations. Take the chance to not only see the sights but learn about the Samoan way of life called "faasamoa" from a real Samoan High Chief.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Namua Turtle Island and Eastern Upolu Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
