Apia, Samoa

Photography Tour in Apia

The best photos of Apia aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Apia is the laid-back capital of Samoa, where traditional fa'a Samoa (Samoan way of life) meets a friendly, walkable waterfront town. Walking from the harbor past colonial churches to the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum reveals the heart of Polynesian culture.
