Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered), especially when visiting churches or villages. Tipping is not customary in Samoa, but a friendly 'fa'afetai' (thank you) is appreciated.
Safety Warnings
The village is generally very safe; however, be cautious when swimming at secluded beaches due to strong currents. Lock valuables when staying at guesthouses and avoid walking alone late at night in unfamiliar areas.
