# Must see, best beaches in Samoa Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa
kesoteric 12:06 UTC 24 Jul 2013 | Hi We are heading to Samoa for the first time in early august for 10 days split between to two Islands Any advice on the must see places (more natural than man made) and the best beaches would be gratefully received. Also suggestions for good walking/hiking trails (experienced hikers) would be great. Thank you |

There aren't really any hiking trails per se, and if you do try to venture away from the main road, somebody will quickly track you down and demand money. If you want good and free hiking with better scenery, you should head to American Samoa. | 1
