As you meander through these colourful markets, it is the perfect opportunity to purchase a holiday memento from one the many local vendors selling handicrafts and souvenirs or savour the tastes of some local Samoan produce. From this point the tour heads south towards the coastline travelling through lush tropical rainforests, numerous small coastal communities and onto Taga Sea Arches.

After taking a photo or two of Taga Sea Arches, travel onto Savaii Island's must see natural phenomena, the Taga blowholes.

It will surely impress.
