Talofa, warm greetings from Samoa in the beautiful South Pacific. My name is Tony and I've been in the toursim industry for a very long time. My passion is meeting people from different countries, backgrounds and all walks of life, and then showing you all my beautiful home of Samoa. I believe in sustainable travel and eco tourism and I also believe in showing people the true Samoa, the way of life of my people. Samoa has so much to offer, with a culture rich in history and legends. The capital city of Apia where the international airport is located is a melting pot of pasifika cultures with markets and many other sights to check out. With a total population of 195, 000 people living across the main 9 islands there's an abundance of things to see and do. I love my job as a tour guide and look forward to meeting you. What better way to see Samoa, than with a local right? I have worked in hotels and managed one of them recently for a period of almost three years. At the same time I was also taking tours around the island and had lots of guests that commented and wrote great reviews about how wonderful and excited they were during the tours with me. I have been guiding around Samoa especially Upolu island for more than 5 years and loving it. I enjoy meeting new people from different races and nations. I am a fully licensed driver. I guide through most locations with the exception of the To Sua trench where this is self guided and at your leisure. I also do not enter the water in the swimming stops.

Overview of your Apia tour

My Upolu Island Full Day Adventurist Tour will take you through Apia, the city of Samoa to swim at the cool refreshing fresh water right on the sea, Piula Cave pool, then enjoy the site seeing of the ever changing rugged coastline and lush ever green mountains of Samoa to splash and snorkel at the most famous white sandy Lalomanu Beach. It use to be in the top 10 beaches of the world before the tsunami 9 years ago. There you can enjoy lunch at one of the favourite local restaurant. Continuing the site seeing to To Sua Ocean TRENCH. If you don't go to the TRENCH you haven't been to Samoa. It's a hidden treasure. The fun carries on to a walk in the rainforest nearby and a dip into a freshwater pool formed by Togitogiga waterfall. Saving the best for the end is snorkelling at the Giant CLAMS at the far western end of Upolu Island before getting dropped off to your hotel.

Great way to see the island with a private guide that knows the island. Great stops but remember certain stops you need to pay an entrance fee.

We initially booked this tour with Anthony more than 6 months ahead of the scheduled date. As we got closer to our tour date, Anthony realized that he would be away on holiday and messaged me with the option of having another guide fill in for him. I appreciated that a lot and felt confident that we would still be well taken care of. So, our guide for the day was PJ. PJ did a wonderful job of showing us Upolu Island in Western Samoa. He took us to all of the highlights that we wanted to see - the Robert Louis Stevenson house museum, the Bahai temple and gardens, Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Papapapaitai Waterfall, and Piula Cave Pool. We drove around multiple coasts and stopped at lookouts on the coast and in the mountains. It was much more than we could ever have seen on a ship excursion. PJ was warm and caring, never made us feel rushed, and shared lots of information about the Samoan life and culture. We asked a lot of questions and he answered them all and never made us feel bad that we asked too many questions. It was a great day in Samoa with PJ! We learned so much and saw so many beautiful places! Faafetai Tony and PJ!

Anthony had a family emergency, but made sure we were taken care of and had an amazing day in Samoa. It was a rainy day, but that made no difference because the Island was beautiful. We saw some of the most beautiful waterfalls. But the most amazing place was the beautiful To Sua cave pool. Words and our photos do not show how really beautiful it was. We climbed down into the crystal clear water and swam in this beautiful pool. We visited Piula Cave Pool which was a smaller one and loved all the foliage. Sopoaga Falls were spectacular. We ended our day at a local market. When we returned to the car, they surprised my husband with a Samoa Ula Necklace. Our guide was amazing and showed us the most magically, beautiful places in Samoa with such a personal touch. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a great tour. Our guide reached out a few days before to say he had a medical emergency and had a colleague who could sub for him. He asked if we were comfortable with that, we were and the guide was actually his nephew. He did a fine job. We had a full day and saw a lot of the island

We spent a wonderful day with Anthony and enjoyed our tour very much. Anthony was very helpful and informative--a great guide.

Anthony is a very good tour guide for Samoa, because (a) he is knowledgeable and competent, (b) makes sure that client's interests are being fully met, (c) shows a good sense of humor, (d) as a main chief in his community is well connected and enjoys visible respect by others. If you visit Samoa, I can fully recommend Anthony as a tour guide.
