Robert Louis Stevenson Museum
The restored colonial house at Vailima where Treasure Island author Robert Louis Stevenson spent his last four years and is buried on the mountain above. Knowledgeable guides walk you through the family rooms, library and his writing study, with stories of how he became "Tusitala" — teller of tales — to the Samoans who adopted him. Allow ninety minutes for the tour plus an extra hour for the Mt Vaea trail to his tomb. Closed Sundays.

Best stays in Upolu, Samoa
Upolu is where most Samoa trips start. Faleolo International Airport, the capital Apia, and the bulk of the country's resort-tier accommodation all sit here. The south coast (Lalomanu, Lotofaga, Siumu) is the postcard side; the north has Apia and the working harbour.
Things to do in Samoa: tours, activities, and day trips
Samoa rewards travellers who get out of the resort. Most of the iconic photos (To-Sua, Lalomanu, Alofaaga blowholes, the canopy walk) are 60–90-minute drives from wherever you're staying — and the easiest way to see them is on a guided tour with a local operator who knows the village fees and the best swimming windows.
