Mt Vaea Track
Mountain · Upolu · Apia
Trail behind the RLS Museum climbing 470m to Robert Louis Stevenson's tomb on the summit. Two routes — the short, steep "Road of Loving Hearts" (~30 min up) and the longer southern ridge path (~1.5 hr up) — both end at a low stone tomb with sweeping views over Apia harbour. Best in early morning to avoid the heat.
Mt Fito
Mountain · Upolu · South Coast
Upolu's highest peak (1,100 m), tucked inside O Le Pupu-Pu'e National Park. Rainforest summit with views toward Apolima Strait — guided hike only.
