BOOKINGS – DETAILS – TRAVEL INFORMATION

BOOKINGS:

Now, if you just want to make an enquiry or even make a serious booking, then we can offer the following information that will help you get all the information you need.

PHONE – Just phone me, Chief Seumanutafa Lesa or my wife, Judy, on (685) 20181, fax 24619 or email us direct on lesa@lesamoa.net.

And if you need any further tourism or environmental or village development advice, then contact our Village Development Adviser, Steve, on stevebrownsamoa@gmail.com


DETAILS:

All you need to bring are your toiletries, light clothing as it is 28 degrees every day, all year round (well, at least at one or two times of the day).

Bring you beach toys, snorkels and flippers, hats, jandals or thongs or sandals ore perfect footwear, even whilst swimming, a few rugby balls, plenty of musical instruments and we’ll supply the rest, including all the food, bedding and amenities.

Sounds too simple. Oh, and just a reminder, a lavalava or two always come handy, especially for sleeping in, bathing in, strolling thru the village in. You can get these upon arrival or at our shop in the village – suitable for boys and girls.

Oh, and practice sitting cross-legged, yoga-style, and practice respecting us adults (this is still the faaSamoa at present). I know some of you may find this difficult some of the time, but we adults are not always as perfect as you think, ask Steve (see http://nuanuasooaemalelagi.blogspot.com/ where the Kids in Samoa are trying to divorce their parents, holding them responsible for all the atrocities in the world. And I don’t blame you guys for thinking like this. We Samoan Chiefs should be serving the next generation of Kids a lot better than we are at present, let me tell you.)

And when the faaSamoa is founded on 'tautua', to serve, we need to apologise to all you Kids. That's why we are inviting you all to our village of Falealupo. Hope you can forgive us.

TRAVEL INFORMATION:

Our preferred airline is http://www.flypacificblue.com/ , we need to fill it to capacity in order to reduce its carbon emissions/capita. Got it. And they’ll give you a good group rate – just tell them I sent you.

Judy or I, or our guides, will personally meet your school group at the airport in Samoa upon arrival, we’ll travel to Savaii Island by vehicular ferry, then we are off sightseeing at least half of the island (40 km along the South Coast) on the way and the other half of the island on the way home (40 km along the North Coast). We’ll visit blowholes, secret surf locations, legendary sites, country markets, volcanic craters, rainforest walks and swing bridges, even waterfalls and of course our famous white sandy beaches and lavatube caves.

Then we’ll get you back safely to meet your flight immediately after showcasing the Apia highlights to you.

COSTS:
(a) Airfares – deal direct with http://www.flypacificblue.com/ – ask for group discounts, extra baggage limits because you’ll be bearing a lot of gifts – that’s our culture – wait and see what you receive from our village upon your departure, so don't say you weren't warned.
(b) Road transport (in local buses and/or vans) and village accommodation (in beach fales and/or village houses) are all-inclusive, so allow for $NZ/AUD/USD95 per day/night (currency depending on country of departure) Meals within the village are also included, however, should your group require meals outside the village, then this is at your own expense. Additional accommodation outside the village (e.g. in Apia) is also to be met by the school group. All toiletries and shop purchases are additional costs to the group, as are village entrance fees in every village we visit, except our own village of Falealupo – you are our guests. Allow additional $30 for village fees along the way.
(c) Guides – each group is accompanied by one guide from Falealupo Village who is responsible for all your group logistics, safety and protocols for the entire duration of your visit.

IN SUMMARY:
On behalf of the Chiefs and Orators of Falealupo Village, we extend our warmest welcome to you and your school should you ever get to visit us. Have a safe and pleasant journey, excel in your schoolwork and we look forward to sharing some new development solutions with you soon.
