Activities

These are free activities for in-house guests, although a requirement of free use of resort facilities and equipment is that a credit card swipe is taken so that any damage to equipment or facilities will be paid for the guest responsible.

KAYAK PADDLE
An excellent way to see parts of the island right at our doorstep, venturing either east or west over shallow, clean water inside the reef. Heading east, explore the lagoon and around the resort area, stopping at low tide beaches or the edge of the jungle. Heading west, see the everyday village life from the water. We can pack you a picnic lunch or light refreshments and, for those unsure of their abilities or safety, we can send you off with a guide.

SNORKELLING
Snorkelling gear is provided on request. Right out the front of the resort is excellent for shallow water snorkeling with a diverse display of marine life, fish, reef and white coral sands. You can snorkel either east or west in the lagoon for hours of underwater exploring.

CULTURE FAA’SAMOA (most Tuesdays)
Every week we have a culture night with a traditional Samoan ceremony featuring kava, food and dancing. Cameras most welcome.

GENERAL ACTIVITIES
Pool and table tennis tables are available for guest use. Along with these is a volleyball court, which is big enough for a variety of other sports such as soccer or football. Games are often organised with other guests and our Samoan staff. There is also a golf net and golf clubs available to practice your swing. A variety of movies is available to watch in the bar/lounge area. Check out our library, plenty of books and magazines. Swapping is encouraged.

WALKS
Take a walk through our village of Salamumu, experiencing the lifestyle first hand. It is a 15 minute walk west to the start of the village, or head east via the rainforest trail down to the lagoon, 20 minutes each way. There is no limit to where or how far you can walk, all villages are friendly so long as you remember to show Samoans the respect they deserve. Be polite and dress appropriately, ie no revealing clothing. Samoans are very welcoming people.
