There are several ways of getting to Savaii. If you want to know of a swift way of getting to Savii, board a flight that will land you at the Faleolo International Airport of Samoa. From here, you have to get to Apia to catch the plane that will land at the Moata Airport in Savaii. Planes fly more than thrice a day from Apia to the Moata Airport in Savaii transporting hundreds of passengers to the spectacular islet of Savaii.
There are other ways of getting to Savaii too. There are several steamboats that operate from Upolu and transport many tourists to Savaii. The motorboats depart from the harbor of Mulifanua situated on the western fringes of Upolu. The inhabitants of Samoa are very amiable by nature and love to engage tourists in tête-à-têtes when they travel by steamboats to Savaii. Reaching Savaii by these steamers is one of the most picturesque ways of going to the islet. Enroute, you will not only be greeted by azure waters full of marine creatures of all kinds but you will also be able to view the dense forests of the various islets from a distance. The entire duration of getting to Savaii from the wharf at Mulifanua will last for about seventy five minutes.
Getting to Savaii is also possible if you take the bus or hail a cab from Apia. Cabs in Samoa don’t function with the help of meters. The government fixes the rates for the cabs and if you want information on the amounts the cabbies charge, you’ll have to get the same from the transport authorities of Samoa. This will ensure that you don’t get cheated by a cabbie while you are getting to Savaii from the Faleolo International Airport or from Apia. Besides, before you board a cab, you had better discuss and settle the fare with the cabbie according to the rules delineated by the transport authorities, lest you be subject to harassment by the cabbie when you disembark.
Buses to Savaii are definitely a cheaper mode of getting to Savaii. Buses in Samoa operate on a methodical basis and are labeled according to the places they drop their passengers at. You have to understand the place where a bus from Apia will take you to and only if the label says ‘Savaii’ will you board it.
Getting to Savaii is definitely an integral and adventurous part of your Savaii travel and tours.
