Surfing in Samoa can sometimes be tricky because of the reefs and inconsistent breaks, but the surfing fraternity is just beginning to discover the big swells that boom in off the break. The interior of the islands, the rugged coast line, the lush tropical rainforests and the volcano fields make Samoa a great place to hike . The other way to explore the islands is by bike. Cycling around Savai'i, in particular, is a worthwhile pastime. Fishing leases are owned by the villages so talas need to be exchanged before fishing in any of the local areas.
Game fishing is also available albeit very expensive.
