# Falealupo Rainforest Reserve Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa
kornspitz 23:15 UTC 17 Jun 2009 | Hi, I've read about the Falealupo Rainforest Reserve which features a treetop canopy walkway built about 40 metres above the ground. Has anyone been there before? How do I get there? My partner and I will be in Samoa for one week Mid-August, and so far we're planning on hiring taxis to get us to places. Where exactly is this Reserve and the walkway? Can a taxi take us there if we stay in a beach fale on the southern coast? Are Fale operators generally able to ring a taxi for us? Sorry if this is a stupid question :) Edit: Oh, I just saw that the Walkway is on Savaii?? Edited by: Kornspitz |

smandkjc 18:35 UTC 18 Jun 2009 | Shame it has closed but not really suprised , it was not worth the price asked and the guide was not able to answer any of our questions re fauna or flora. Was not much more than just a ladder strung between 2 trees. You climbed up one and down the other. | 2
kornspitz 23:49 UTC 18 Jun 2009 | oh has it? why actually? well, at least I don't have to feel gutted anymore that we are on the 'wrong' island! :) some one should tell them to change this information on www.visitsamoa.ws :) thanks for your info, that's good to know. | 3
