Surfing Savaii
The island of Savaii has many surf breaks on its north and south coasts. Swells can come in from all points of the compass, and the quality of the waves depends greatly on swell direction.
(see Samoa Surf)

With Savaii Surfaris' years of experience tracking weather systems and assessing swell conditions you can be assured that you will get to surf the best waves possible during your stay.

Aganoa Right and Aganoa Left surf breaks are within paddling distance of the beach, and for the pick of the other possibilities Savaii Surfaris operate two 12-seater vans and a 15-foot fibreglass runabout.

Wherever the waves are happening on Savaii the best possible access is provided by van and/or boat - all included in our surfing package. Local staff and a roster of selected Australian surfers assist in the daily operations, and their dedication and knowledge enable Savaii Surfaris to provide the very best in service to visiting surfers.

Accommodation & Activities «

Aganoa Beach Retreat
Accommodation is in traditional palm-thatched beach falés on the southeast coast at Aganoa Beach. The location is very secluded, adjacent to a conservation reserve on the edge of the rainforest, right on the beach. Savaii's scenic attractions, like the Tafua Crater and Olemoe Waterfall, are a short distance away, as is Salelologa, the main town and ferry terminal.

All falés feature comfortable beds, mosquito nets, electricity and convenient access to a central amenities block with hot showers. The beachside restaurant and bar overlooks the lagoon with views of the surf and coast - a great place for a tropical breakfast or a sunset drink.

Breakfast includes cereal, toast and tropical fruits, while dinners feature fresh seafood, regular BBQ nights and traditional Samoan roast. Beach falé packages are ideal for small groups of surfers, couples or families who want to experience a real Samoan style holiday rather than a generic resort. The friendliness of the staff and the cultural experience have proved to be very popular with surfers of all ages, and their families.

Activities
The snorkelling here is excellent with coral gardens and abundant tropical fish. Other activities include island tours to see the spectacular blowholes and waterfalls. You can also visit the local 'tapa' makers, who produce an unusual paper-like cloth from tree bark - a perfect souvenir of Samoa. Fishing trips are available for an extra charge.

Tour Packages «

	A Savaii Surfaris tour package includes airport transfers; arrival and/or departure night accommodation on the main island of Upolu; ferry transfers; and accommodation with breakfast and dinner at Aganoa Beach Retreat on Savaii.
All bookings are coordinated by Atoll Travel, to ensure personal service and uncrowded waves. Arrival at Faleolo International Airport, on Upolu island, is usually late at night. A Savaii Surfaris' representative meets arriving guests and transfers them to the accommodation booked for the night. Most guests stay at the Airport Lodge, which is close to the wharf. Alternatively, you can stay at the legendary Aggie Grey's Hotel in Apia, 45 minutes away.
	In the morning, guests are picked up from their accommodation for the transfer to Mulifanua Wharf and an 80-minute ferry trip to Savaii. On Savaii, you'll be met by the Savaii Surfaris van and taken to Aganoa Beach Retreat, about 15 minutes away.
On the final day of the tour, guests take the afternoon ferry back to the main island of Upolu where our representative will again arrange for transfers to accommodation in Apia or at the Airport Lodge, and assist with transfers to the airport for check-in.
	You'll leave with memories of great waves, a fascinating island and its people; of pleasant company and new friends; and of cold Vailima beers, fish steaks and perfect sunsets.
