Mt Silisili
Mountain · Savaii · Central
Samoa's highest peak (1,858 m). Two-to-three day guided hike through cloud forest on Savai'i — arrange a guide through the village of A'opo. For experienced hikers only.

Mt Matavanu
Mountain · Savaii · North Central
The volcano whose 1905–1911 eruption created the Saleaula Lava Fields below. A short walk leads to the rim above a green forested crater — about 45 minutes return through bush — and you can sometimes spot the deeper crater that's now an unofficial picnic spot. Trail starts behind Manase. Wear shoes that can handle loose volcanic rock.

Mt Tafua
Mountain · Savaii · East Coast
Twin volcanic craters on Savai'i's sunrise coast, with a short walk through dense rainforest to panoramic views over the south coast and the lava fields beyond. Easier than Mt Matavanu; doable in a half-day.
