Apia is the historic capital of Samoa and retains much of its old-world charm. As you set out on a panoramic drive, you will cross the Vaisigano River and pass the famous Aggie Grey's Hotel. Aggie ran a hamburger joint and pub during World War II, which became a home away from home for American service personnel. From there, her business grew into a world-famous hotel. Your drive takes you through the Beach Road with colourful plants along the way, passing through the Samoa Tourism village which houses various local business like tattooing, weaving, tapa making etc.
