Savai'i, the larger but less populated of Samoa's two main islands, offers an authentic Polynesian experience with its pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and traditional villages. Accessibility can be limited, with some roads being unpaved, so consider renting a 4x4 vehicle. Solo travelers can enjoy the island's tranquility, but guided tours are recommended for exploring the interior and learning about local culture. The best time to visit is during the dry season (May to October) to avoid heavy rainfall. Expect to spend around $50-$150 per day, depending on accommodation and activities. A typical visit duration ranges from 3 to 7 days, allowing ample time to explore the island's natural beauty and cultural sites such as the Alofaaga Blowholes and the Saleaula Lava Fields.
