TRANSPORT
With it's proximity to New Zealand
and Australia, good connecting flights are offered by
Air New Zealand,
Air Pacific and
Polynesian Blue. It
takes about 5 hours flying from Sydney, Australia, or Auckland, New Zealand,
and slightly longer on connecting flights to Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane,
Townsville or the Gold Coast. There are direct flights from LA which take about
9 hours, and it will take about 21 flying hours from Europe or the UK.
AquaSamoa WaterSports is located about a 10minute drive from the
Faleolo International Airport, and about a 40 minute drive from the capital
Apia. Depending on where you are staying if you require transport we can pick
you up for about half the price of a taxi fare.
 BUS SERVICES :
Buses
provide an inexpensive form of transport  for locals, and a colorful experience
to remember for visitors. All buses are named with their final destination, so
ask the driver which bus you need to catch. In Apia, the bus terminals are
located next to the food market in Fugalei and beside the fish market (behind
the craft market). Bus schedules and details of fares are available from the
Samoa Visitors Bureau ,
but Samoan buses rarely run to a strict timetable, particularly later in the
day.
 CAR RENTAL:
Foreign drivers' licenses must
be validated prior to driving in Samoa. Validation costs ST$10, and are
performed by the Transport Control Board in Vaitele, near the Vailima brewery
(not a bad drop). Some car rental companies may also offer assistance in
getting your license endorsed.
 TAXIS:
Taxis in Samoa are unmetered, and their fares are set by the
government. Taxis charge a minimum of WST$2.50 (e.g. for a short trip within
the town area). A copy of the taxi fare rates can be obtained from the
Transport Control Board, and rates to popular destinations are displayed in the Samoa Visitors Bureau .
Always ask for the taxi fare to a certain place before you commence your trip.
