Four self-contained cottages are ideal for those wishing to experience the rich mangrove ecosystem - kayak through the mangroves and explore the region by foot along managed trails and boardwalks to experience the quiet solitude of this tropical environment.

Getting There:
As most flights arrive in the early hours of the morning, the easiest way to get to Sa'anapu is to spend your first night in Apia. Catch the Airport Shuttle Bus into Apia Town for ST$8 per person (meets all international arrivals - 40-minutes in mini coach - driver will drop you at requested hotel). Once in Apia, the best way to get to Sa'anapu is to take the Green Turtle Tour which stops at Sa'anapu every day on request. Green Turtle are based in Apia and depart each day at 8am from the Travellers' Lounge, or organise for them to pick you up from your Apia hotel. Simply purchase your travel pass which enables you to hop-on and hop-off the bus as many times as you like during your stay and take a scenic and educational tour en-route.
A taxi direct to Sa'anapu from the International Airport will cost about ST$100 (takes 1 hour 15 minutes) and from Apia Town about ST$100. Car rental is not available at the international airport as a Samoan driving license is required - these are only available from the licensing office opposite the Police Station in Apia.
There is no public bus to Sa'anapu.
