Meals not included
Embrace a fantastic cultural experience in Vailele. The villagers welcome you to the meeting house for a kava ceremony.
Move outside for entertainment and view or participate in the making of an umu — food cooked in the ground, Samoan style. You'll watch as the food is taken out of the umu prepared before you arrived; then, enjoy a lunch of this delicious ensemble of meat and vegetables cooked together.
A scenic panoramic drive leads to the Piula Cave Pool. En route, watch for spectacular fale, traditional Samoan thatched huts with tall roofs, used during the day for cooking or eating.
Along the shoreline, observe the sharply eroded, dramatic lava cliffs leading to Piula College. This Methodist seminary is built over a naturally occurring freshwater cave pool. Enjoy a drink of fresh coconut water and swim in the subterranean turquoise waters. Explore the underwater passage linking two cave chambers as you swim in the pool. Land lovers will have free time to explore the grounds of the college.
Leave the pool and on the return to Apia, sightseeing on the Mulinuu Peninsula and the Parliament grounds.
