Essence of Tutuila

During your scenic island tour, pass by many of the island’s most interesting and
alluring spots. Stop at Leone to photograph the site of the first missionary landing in
1830. From Leone, pass the Leala Lava Flow and see the beautiful natural coastline
and glistening ocean.

Hear tales of Tia Seu Lupe, an old chiefs’ game involving the catching of pigeons.
Whoever captures the most pigeons wins a wife or daughter of the chief. You will pass
by the Tia Seu Lupe Station to see where these curious traditions took place.

A tour of the island wouldn’t be complete without seeing the ‘Flowerpot Rock’; this is
one of the island’s most photographed landmarks.

Briefly stopping at Samoa’s late Governor Tauese Sunia’s Museum leisurely browse
the collection of memorabilia. Relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery. Your return to
the ship will be along the same road on which you came.

Before returning to the pier a brief stop is made at Maliu Mai Beach, for a
complimentary drink before heading back to town.
