TALOFA LAVA – WELCOME TO SAMOA<br />

Talofa Lava – Welcome to Samoa!<br />

More than just tropical islands, Samoa is a very special land of extraordinary beauty, where turquoise lagoons lap onto<br />

unspoilt white sandy beaches lined with coconut palms and where cascading waterfalls, rich virgin rainforests and mist<br />

covered mountain peaks are all contained within a sparkling necklace of coral reefs.<br />

Explore Upolu by car, with a good coastal road and several roads crossing the interior with small villages dotted along the<br />

rivers and coastline these are great places to experience traditional Samoan life. Visit Samoa’s capital Apia, with a pleasant<br />

harbour setting and the hub of tourist activity and hotels.<br />

A visit to Savai’i is a must! As with Upolu, Savai’i’s landscape is varied – with its stunning wild beaches, pristine lagoons,<br />

rugged volcanic craters and lava tubes, lush tropical rainforest and villages which maintain the traditional way of life. Staying<br />

in one of Samoa’s traditional open beachfront fales is a <strong>MUST</strong>! Listen to the waves lapping on the beach and let the tropical<br />

breeze cool you while you sleep!<br />

We invite you to come and discover why people have been falling in love with the “Treasured islands of the South Pacific”<br />

since the beginning of history!<br />

<strong>Travel</strong> Tips<br />

• Climate: A pleasantly warm climate. The temperatures are cooled by southeast<br />

trade winds from May to October, while November to April is the wet<br />

and humid season.<br />

• Currency: The Samoan unit of currency is the “Tala”. Banks offer money<br />

exchange facilities at the airport for all arrivals and departures. Main hotels<br />

also offer money exchange facilities.<br />

• Language: Samoan is the national language, but English is the official<br />

language for business. Most Samoans are fluent in both languages.<br />

• Electricity: 240 volts / AC 50 cycles. Supply can be disrupted especially in<br />

outlying areas.<br />

• Duty Free: Each visitor to Samoa may bring in one litre of spirits and 200<br />

cigarettes or 50 cigars duty free.<br />

• Clothing: Visitors to Samoa need a light tropical wardrobe year round with<br />

perhaps a light sweater for the cooler evenings. Wearing togs is fine at the<br />

resorts but should not be worn when visiting town or villages.<br />

• Drinking Water: Tap water should not be consumed. It is advisable to boil<br />

drinking water. Local purified and mineral waters are available.<br />

• Entry Requirements: No entry permit is required for visitors staying up to 60<br />

days, however an onward or return ticket and valid passport are required.<br />

• Transport: There are many ways to get around Samoa. Bus services are<br />

very economical and enjoyable but can take a lot of time and are limited<br />

on Sundays. Taxis are available in the main centres. Hiring a car is the best<br />

way to see all the sights available and you can take as much time as you<br />

like. A passenger and vehicle ferry operates daily from Mulifanua Wharf<br />

to Salelologa, Savai’i. The ferry crossing takes an hour and whilst basic,<br />

provides a great opportunity to interact with the locals.<br />

• Medical: Samoa is free from most tropical diseases. Medical services are<br />

available at the National Hospital, Apia and from the privately operated<br />

Medcen Hospital.<br />

• Village Protocol: Samoans are generous with their hospitality and smiles,<br />

and are generally happy to welcome you into their villages. Always ask<br />

permission before taking photo’s in villages, avoid walking or driving through<br />

villages during Sa (curfew for evening prayers), leave shoes outside a Samoa<br />

house (if invited in), sit cross-legged on the floor and remember to cover up<br />

(no skimpy clothing!!)<br />

7.3 The above cancellation fees are required to offset booking,<br />

communication and administration charges that will have<br />

already been incurred by us. In addition to our cancellation fee,<br />

you may also be required to pay cancellation fees imposed by<br />

our Suppliers (i.e. airlines, hotels, etc.) The amount of each<br />

Supplier’s cancellation fee is beyond our control, and payment<br />

is solely your responsibility. You should check with your travel<br />

agent concerning the amount of a Supplier’s cancellation fees.<br />

7.4 To the extent that we are able to do so (bearing in mind we are<br />

dependent upon third party availability beyond our control) we<br />

will be pleased to incorporate any reasonable changes you<br />

request. An itinerary change may attract a fee similar to<br />

cancellation fees in Clause 7.2 above to cover our<br />

administration costs.<br />

7.5 Some Suppliers may reserve the right to cancel or amend<br />

travel, accommodation, etc and GO Holidays must therefore<br />

reserve similar rights to cancel or amend any holiday<br />

arrangements.<br />

7.6 There are cases where the terms of supply as to refundability of<br />

pre-payments require provisions different from the above. In<br />

those cases the conditions specific to your tour will be advised<br />

to you at the time your booking is processed.<br />

8. Insurance<br />

We strongly recommend that as a minimum you insure yourself<br />

fully against cancellation, disruption, loss of luggage and<br />

personal property, and medical expenses. Your travel agent will<br />

be able to provide you with further information.<br />

9. Items Not Covered<br />

Unless otherwise specified, the cost of meals, drinks, laundry,<br />

telephone calls, insurance, sightseeing tours, local taxes,<br />

airport departure taxes, aviation insurance levies and passport<br />

or visa application fees are not included.<br />

10. Package Costs<br />

Included in the tour costs are charges for normal booking<br />

procedure costs, communication costs, administration,<br />

research, printing, etc. Where the land arrangements of<br />

holidays are included in a composite package, an itemisation of<br />

costs will not be rendered.<br />

11. Visas / Passports<br />

For all holidays in this brochure you will require a valid<br />

passport. You are responsible for arranging your own passport,<br />

visa and health requirements (including inoculation where<br />

applicable). You should check with your travel agent who will<br />

be able to provide you with the necessary information.<br />

12. Non-Use of Services or Facilities<br />

If, of your own choice, you decide not to use part or parts of<br />

the arranged services or facilities, you will not be entitled to a<br />

refund from us (provided we have carried out our service with<br />

reasonable skill and care and to your requirements) and you<br />

may not be entitled to a refund from any Supplier.<br />

13. GO Holidays Charter for Addressing Problems<br />

In the event that you should strike a problem or you are<br />

dissatisfied with some aspect of the services or facilities during<br />

the course of your trip, our recommendation is that you take<br />

the matter up directly with the supplier of the service at the<br />

time, or as soon as practicable in the circumstances. This<br />

provides the opportunity to have the matter discussed and<br />

investigated on the spot and a remedy negotiated then and<br />

there to enable you to continue enjoying your holiday. We have<br />

found from experience that it is very difficult (in some countries<br />

impossible) for us to obtain redress for you once travel has<br />

been completed. If this does not work, we wish to be involved<br />

at the earliest possible moment and our commitment is that we<br />

will immediately work on resolving the issue to your<br />

satisfaction.<br />

14. Health or Disability<br />

Some Suppliers may reserve the right to refuse to carry or<br />

accommodate people who, because of a health condition or<br />

disability, may require services or facilities to be provided in a<br />

special manner or at a certain stage of pregnancy. You should<br />

check this with your travel agent.<br />

15. Legal Claims<br />

The laws of New Zealand will govern any claims or legal action<br />

in connection with the provision of our services to you. Any<br />

claim or legal action against the Suppliers is likely to be subject<br />

to the terms of your contract with them, and may be governed<br />

by the laws of other countries.<br />
