Samoa Itinerary Planner

Samoa looks small on a map, but the places you want are scattered, and a few hours can disappear between one sight and the next. A dawn walk at O Le Pupu-Puʿe National Park, with damp forest air and birdsong overhead, sits a long way from the sunny sand of Lalomanu Beach, where you end the day with salt on your skin. The planner gathers nearby spots into the same stretch of days, so you spend your time on the sights themselves and never crisscross the country.

You choose how many days you have, which interests pull you (any mix of cities and towns, villages, landmarks, national parks, hikes, beaches and attractions) and whether you like a relaxed or a fast pace. The tool then groups places that sit close together, so you spend your hours walking a track or swimming rather than staring out a window at the same road twice. It also picks one sensible direction through those groups, so your route moves steadily onward instead of zigzagging back and forth. Each stop gets time that fits its type and how much is around it: a town with several spots nearby becomes a base where you sleep longer, and the smaller places close by turn into easy day trips from it. Say you add To Sua Ocean Trench, where you climb down a wooden ladder to a deep, green swimming hole. Other sights in that area get tucked into the same stretch of days, so you linger, swim, dry off in the sun and head out for the next cluster feeling unhurried.
