 Savaii Island Travel Guide

Savai'i Island is an unusual island with dramatic landscapes moulded by the islands recent volcanic past. Here you'll find a great range of sights from volcanic craters and lava tubes, rain forest canopy walks, blowholes and some lovely beach settings alongside traditional Polynesian villages which are even more laid back than on Upolu. Savai'i is in fact the largest of the Samoan Islands and ranks the largest Polynesian island outside of Hawaii or New Zealand. Savai'i is a complex geographical island dominated by its active but presently dormant volcanic activity. Every 150 years or so, eruptions take place, creating a new crater and spilling lava down its mountainous landscape and into the lagoon. Travelling up the east coast of Savai'i gives a typical picture - long stretches of black rocky coastline and lava pools followed by fine stretches of golden sand and snorkelling lagoons, and suddenly at Sale-aula, the arid landscape of volcanic lava flow from the last eruption between 1911-1916. A walk around Sale'aula offers a good insight into volcanic activity with some unusual geographic formations and the half buried town where lava engulfed several churches and burnt all the Samoan wooden houses to ashes.
