Upolu is the most populated of the ten islands which make up Samoa. Acclimatise to island life or visit the main town of Apia, explore the local market, sample local life in a bar on the waterfront, or choose to just relax on the pristine beaches. The island of Savaii is a 45 minute ferry ride from Upolu, and home to the awesome Alofaaga blowholes and one of Polynesia’s highest peaks Mount Silisili.
