    At the time of writing, all cultural activities and tours are cancelled due to measles outbreak. Wish I know this earlier. There is still one person inside the office providing advice and there are maps and pamphlets available for free
  • By Che Kumar
    Free cultural tour, went here on my first day and felt it helped me with a basis of Samoan culture. You also get to have a free lunch and see a cultural dance, tattooing, wood carving, coconut cutting/making coconut cream. Worth a visit.
