From
Faleolo International
Airport
Bus:
We can arrange airport transfers or the airport bus will drop you
straight to our door at Vaiala Beach just down from Palolo Deep
Marine Reserve. View map
You
may also come in with Schuster bus,
or Jane's tours, or Aggie's
buses if they have room. These buses charge only SAT
$12 and are the best way into town. We
will be here to greet you when you come in. Please let
us know your flight number and arrival time.
Taxis
A flurry of taxis stand just outside the airport arrivals area.
Taxi fare from the airport should be agreed before you leave and
should be about Tala $40 (about USD $12) for the 45 minute ride
into Apia. Bargaining is not common in Samoa, but another driver
may give you a lower price. Samoa taxis have regulated fares but
do not have meters. Taxis are good inexpensive transport, but the
cars may be modest.
