Upolu Island Pictures

North East Coast

The north east coast of Upolu has a rugged coastline with few beaches. The north east coast is particularly scenic with high rain forest mountains and beautiful bays. The stunning view of Mt. Fao from Le Mafa Pass. Central Upolu is a mix of rejuvenated rainforest and cleared plantations of coconut trees and cattle grazing.


South East Coast

The south east coast of Upolu has several stunning beach locations, some with good swimming and snorkelling and views of several small offshore islands. Basic beach fale accommodation is provided at most beach locations and offers the chance to relax in pristine locations whilst being looked after by local villagers.



Aleipata Islands




South West Coast

The finest white sand beaches in Samoa are found around the south west coast between Saanapu and Salamumu. This area is quite remote and backed by virgin rainforest. A boardwalk across the mangrove forests at Saanapu enables first hand experience of these tranquil eco-systems. Kayak tours are a popular alternative for exploring these rich habitats.


North West Coast

The north west coiast is the most populated region on Upolu Island with an almost constant stream of villages strung out either side of the coastal highway. The coast here is mostly rocky and without beaches but is good for swimming.
