Samoa Constructed Attractions

When you pay for the guide, you can ( eloquently!) listen to the tales behind all the woodcarvings that line the way to the exhibition. In the interior of the Musée you will find a huge selection of works of art.... everything is available if you wish. I can' t wait to see how this place is going. That is a very unusual evolution of the Congregational Christian Church in Samoa.

By far the greatest part of the museum's collections consists of a magnificent group of Samoan woodcarvings, mainly created by student artists, apparently educated by the school. There are many references to Samoan culture and myths. The artworks (including many paintings) are accommodated in an imaginative and wonderfully constructed variation of a large Samoan Fale.

Falealupo - Falealupo Canopy Walks, Savai'i Votes

It was not one I thought I would do when I was planning our Samoan journey, but something extraordinary. On the Canopy Way we went with a small group of locals on a full days excursion around the archipelago. While the catwalk itself is a little wobbly, you felt robust enough on it, with powerful tracks made of a wire for holding on.

There were also wired sides on the right and lefthand sides of the sidewalk. As I am a guy who doesn't like high places, I first of all chose not to go upstairs and take the stroll. It is possibly the last piece of Samoa low-lying rain forest and it is both untouched and breathtaking.

It' not long, 150 feet with a treehouse uphill. Included in the price are Moso's Foot Print and the Skirthaus. Moso's Footsprint is an inconspicuous vulcanic fissure that looks like a lefthand footstep and the Skirt Cottage is an old shelter. You should be warned: The foot print and the Steinhaus family charges you 5 talas for taking pictures.
