You don't need great reasons to visit the sensational Islands of Samoa such as the Teuila Festival, the Samoa Blues & Jazz Festival, Rugby World Cup or a Honeymoon or Anniversary - Samoa is a reason in itself.
The islands of Samoa are an idyllic twin centre option for any trip to New Zealand or Australia. Major events down under such as the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand in September offer the ideal opportunity to explore the South Pacific. Alternatively, the contrasting Far East is an accessible alternative too.
Auckland is an ideal stopover en route to Samoa. Spend a few nights enjoying the thriving city before immersing yourself in the most authentic Polynesian culture and warmest welcome in the South Pacific on the treasured islands of Samoa. Air New Zealand fly daily from Auckland to Samoa, with a flight time of just over four hours.
Sydney is also an easy twin centre with Samoa, Polynesian Blue operates three flights a week to Falealupo Airport (30 minutes from Apia, the thriving capital of Samoa).
Twinning the Far East with Samoa is easier than ever, with Air Pacific adding increasing capacity from Hong Kong to the South Pacific by adding a third weekly flight. The service operates to Nadi on Mondays, connecting with Cathay Pacific’s Heathrow-Hong Kong service under a code-share. Depart Hong Kong at 15.50 arriving into Fiji for an overnight stop and a flight from Nadi to Apia the following evening.
The islands of Hawaii are also a multicentre option with weekly flights every Friday departing from Honolulu for Samoa.
Think the perfect honeymoon, family trip of a lifetime, round the world trip, or the pinnacle of a trip down under for swell chasing surf addicts! LA, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Sydney, Auckland and neighbouring Pacific islands are all gateways to experiencing an authentic Polynesian gem. The islands of Samoa are the perfect antidote to an adventure filled journey across the world.
