About this guide
Car-free island in the Apolima Strait, accessible from Manono-uta wharf on Upolu's western tip via a small village boat (no fixed timetable, ~10 min crossing). The 5km coastal path passes seven villages, an ancient star-mound, the swimming pool of Tui Manono and church bells made from old WW2 oxygen tanks. A half-day in another century.
