Getting There

Boat
To reach the Nu'umasaga Islands, travelers typically start from Upolu, Samoa's main island. From Apia, the capital, arrange for a boat transfer to the islands. Several local operators offer day trips or longer excursions. Negotiate the fare beforehand, which can range from ST$50-ST$150 per person depending on the distance and duration. Some resorts on Upolu can also arrange boat transfers directly. Ensure the boat is equipped with safety gear and that the operator is licensed. The journey offers scenic views of the Samoan coastline and smaller islands.

Taxi & Ferry
Alternatively, from Faleolo International Airport, take a taxi to Mulifanua Wharf (approx. ST$60-70). From there, take a ferry to Savai'i (ST$12 per adult, ST$6 per child).
