anywhere in Upolu at 9am, settling into a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan or people-mover for the journey to the wharf. This is a private tour, just your group, so there are no crowds, no big buses, and no rushing. Your guide sets the tone from the moment he picks you up.<br><br></div><div>From the wharf, you board your exclusively hired boat for a short 10 to 15 minute ride across to Manono Island. As one of Samoa's most peaceful and unspoilt islands, Manono has no roads and no cars, so once you arrive, everything is done on foot at a relaxed, leisurely pace.<br><br></div><div>The walk around the island takes around two and a half hours and there is plenty to take in along the way. One of the standout stops is the Grave of 99 Stones, the tomb of a chief who sought to take 100 wives, with each stone marking one. A warrior from your guide's own village famously prevented him from reaching that number, and hearing that story told by someone with a direct connection to it makes it all the more memorable.<br><br></div><div>You will also pass through a part of the island where ancient native trees and frangipani grow, something you simply cannot find anywhere else in Samoa. Further along, you will visit the site where the first Methodist missionary landed in 1835, a quiet but significant spot in Samoa's history. Your guide will walk you through the island's customs and rules along the way, including the well-known rule that no dogs are permitted on the island.<br><br></div><div>If the group is feeling tired or wants to take things easier, the walk can be shortened. This tour is built around you, not a fixed schedule.<br><br></div><div>After exploring the island, you return for lunch at Le Vasa Resort, included in your tour. The day wraps up with your drop-off back at your accommodation, with the tour finishing at around 5pm.<br><br></div><div>All entry fees and boat hire are covered, so there is nothing extra to organise on the day. Groups of three or more also receive a discount.</div>", "departure_and_return": "<div>We offer free pickup from anywhere in Upolu.
