Samoa does not have a highly developed infrastructure for water activities and you won't find any commercial water sports like para-sailing, water skiing or jet boats here, which is great. Surfing is considered excellent on both Upolu and Savaii and there are some great Kayaking and Game Fishing opportunities on the south coast of Upolu. Unfortunately due to the nature of the islands (there are only 2 large islands and 7 small islands) and the closeness of the fringing coral reefs, Sailing is rather limited and Scuba Diving is not extensive compared to some of its South Pacific neighbours. There are however some excellent diving sites on the south coast of Upolu and north coast of Savaii which will appeal to beginners and leisure divers but there is neither the variety nor outstanding sites to appeal to serious divers and no live aboard in the islands. What Samoa does have for the adventurous and spirited traveller is some excellent Hiking trails on both Upolu and Savaii.
