Apia Cruise: To Sua Trench, Lalomanu Beach｜Samoa

Experience some of Upolu’s most beautiful natural attractions on a small-group shore excursion created especially for cruise ship passengers.

Meet your friendly local guide at Apia Harbour and travel through traditional Samoan villages, lush tropical scenery and along the island’s picturesque coastline.

Your first stop is Piula Cave Pool, a peaceful freshwater swimming hole fed by a natural spring. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear water and explore the small underwater cave connecting the two pools.

Continue to the world-famous To Sua Ocean Trench, one of Samoa’s most photographed attractions. Admire the spectacular volcanic landscape, tropical gardens and turquoise water far below. Those feeling adventurous can climb down the famous ladder for an unforgettable swim.

Next, visit beautiful Lalomanu Beach on Upolu’s south coast. Relax on the soft white sand, swim in the clear blue water and enjoy views of Samoa’s smaller offshore islands.

On the journey back to Apia, stop at Papapapaitai Falls, one of Samoa’s tallest waterfalls. Take in the impressive view as the water plunges more than 100 metres into a deep, lush rainforest valley.

This tour is limited to just one van with a maximum of nine guests, giving you a more personal and relaxed experience with plenty of time for photographs and swimming. Your excursion is operated by Samoa Surf & Turf Tours, a trusted local company known for friendly service and memorable island experiences.

The itinerary is carefully planned around your ship’s time in port, allowing you to enjoy the best of Samoa before returning safely to Apia Harbour in time for departure.
