Private Full-Day Upolu Island Discovery with Expert Local Guide

A fully bespoke, door-to-dock private tour of Upolu's greatest hits: Robert Louis Stevenson's hilltop villa, Papapapaitai Falls, village life, and the south-coast beaches — curated entirely around your pace and passions.

What to expect

Your accredited private guide meets you at the pier and navigates a seamless loop of Upolu's highlights in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. The Robert Louis Stevenson Museum (Vailima) provides a colonial-era counterpoint to the raw jungle and traditional fale villages en route. Lunch is at a family-run restaurant chosen by your guide for authenticity, not footfall. Every stop is timed so you're back at the wharf with ease.

Good to know

Book as early as possible — private guides fill quickly on cruise-call days. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time at booking so the guide plans accordingly. Request the Vailima / waterfalls / south-coast loop for the most rewarding full-day circuit.
