Review of full day in Samoa tour - This was one of the best tours we have had. Chris, our guide, was informative, sensitive to the needs of the group and had a wonderful variety of things to show us on Samoa. We felt we got good value for the money!

First class would highly recommend - This was one of the best tours we have ever done. We had Chief Tai and our friends had one of his colleagues and everyone was in agreement that Chief Tai and his colleagues were fantastic. We got to see so much of Samoa and experience its fantastic warm and friendly culture. First class!

A happy and packed day in excellent hands - What a fabulous day! Chief Tai went out of his way to give us the richest experience he could. He entertained us with stories, explained Samoan history and answered a myriad of questions, all while navigating the roads and rearranging the itinerary to our advantage. His local knowledge meant we got to swim in To Sua without hoards of others. So magical and worth it. Chief Tai generously took us to his home to finish the coconut demonstration, also worth it. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly, kind and helpful. We recommend his tour 1000% We arrived back at the ship tired and delighted :) AND we had time to do some shopping on the wharf. Malo / Thank you Chief Tai and your excellent team. Last minute tip - take USD if you want to buy anything; credit facilities are few and have minimums.

Tai’s Native Experience is Great - We enjoyed our day very much. Tai and team made adjustments to our itinerary so that we avoided big crowds. I loved our swim in the fresh water pool, swimming in the ocean and lunch on the beach. We saw the highlights of Samoa with a personal touch. Chris, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Samoan history, and he also shared traditional stories of Samoan culture. Thank you!

Fantastic experience in Samoa 🇼🇸 - Excellent trip around the island with Kris as our guide and our driver (sorry didn’t catch his name) Many tourist buses all going the same route so we went ahead of the others and saw some fabulous sights, especially the beach swim. A lot to see in one trip but our guide made the trip extra special with his knowledge and friendliness to make sure we all had an authentic experience of the island. Well worth it for a day trip!! Thanks to all 🩵

An unforgettable experience! - We had a great day with an enchanting tour guide. There was so much to see and experience. 3 swimming stops in different locations, all sensational in their own way. On the rides we learned many interesting facts about Samoa and heard wonderful stories. Lunch was simple but delicious and we could eat in a small cabin right on the beach. Also all other stops were exciting, we enjoyed the day very much and say a thousand thanks to the wonderful people of Samoa!

Our guide, George was absolutely wonderful and made the tour amazing with his knowledge, folklore stories, comedic approach and singing!! Everyone on the tour all said they could not have had a better experience in Samoa. A highlight of our holiday, THANK YOU!

Gracious and knowledgeable tour guides - Chief Tai and his colleagues are very well organized, gregarious, hospitable and generous about sharing information and explaining Samoan culture. and traditions Chris, the guide on our delightfully air-conditioned bus, even sang some songs and tried to teach us a bit of the language. Chief Tai did an excellent job of navigating around the crowds that spilled onto the island from our jumbo cruise ship. My only complaint is that we whizzed to all the official sites so quickly that we never got time to see (or photograph) any of the wonderful local homes, churches and other buildings that make Samoa special. In the future, it would be nice to stop in one of the towns to let visitors get off the bus to a glimpse of real life.

Trip with a local Samoan, did not give much - The ship was 3 hours late and we started tour about 11 AM. So we could not visit every target we were supposed to visit. The car was broken (windows were dirty, seat could not be moved forwards, could not get out of the car properly, bottleholders and safetybelts were broken, dirty wheelchair was set next to my wife), guide had no loudspeaker or any device we could hear him at the backseats, only next to him could hear what he said, terrible hurry in every place, we had no possibility to taste any local or ethnic food, and the offered meal was ordinary chicken leg with rice, not a single visit at some local markets or shops. We are very diasoppointed.
