Game Fishing is excellent just outside the reef off Upolu. There are several game fishing charters, the most extensive is based from the Sa'Moana Resort and at Maninoa Beach between Coconuts and Sinalei where experienced crew offer lessons for beginners and local knowledge of the best spots for serious game-fishing enthusiasts. Several game fishing charters can usually be found based at Apia Harbour. You can also try your hand at fishing from a traditional outrigger canoe. Line fishing is not permitted without prior approval from the local Samoan village.
