Climb aboard your open-air, island-style bus for your journey to experience one of the island’s most traditional ceremonies.
Stop to photograph the beautiful village from a top Mt. Alava.
Your scenic journey takes 20 minutes away, East of Tutuila. You will pass historical buildings, like the original High Court, the old Navy commissary, currently the deeds ad records office, the post office building, the police station and the local market place. You will get to travel past the end of the harbor into the capitol village of Pago Pago before going up and down into the village of Fagasa.
Note this testament to an important part of Samoa’s history before making your way to a nearby venue for your traditional ava ceremony. This celebratory event showcases Samoan dancing, singing and includes a drink produced from the local ava root.
Participate in this festive ceremony and then rejoin your bus for travels back to the ship.
