CloseWhen you picture a tropical island escape like Samoa, it’s easy to imagine soft sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and the occasional snorkelling adventure. But there’s so much more to this island paradise than meets the eye.
If you’re the kind of traveller who likes to stay active, Samoa offers a surprising twist: it’s a fantastic destination for hiking. Whether you’re up for a multi-day trek to the summit of the island’s largest volcano or prefer a leisurely family-friendly walk through lush rainforest, there are trails for every age and ability.
Worried it’s too hot and humid for hiking? Think again. Samoa’s highlands enjoy cooler temperatures than the coast—refreshing, but never chilly—so you won’t need to pack heavy layers to enjoy the great outdoors.
So why not lace up your hiking boots, fill up your water bottle, and explore the wild, beautiful side of Samoa that few tourists get to experience? Here are some of the best walking and hiking experiences waiting for you.
