Getting to central Apia from Faleolo International Airport (APW)

Faleolo Airport is about 40 km west of Apia along the north coast of Upolu. The distance catches many first-timers off guard, so allow 45 to 60 minutes for the drive.

• Hotel transfers are the most reliable option. Most hotels and resorts offer private or group pickups that can be pre-booked. Arrange this before you arrive, especially if your flight lands in the evening.
• Taxis are available outside the terminal. Not all have meters, so agree on a fare before you get in. Pay in Samoan tala. Most drivers do not accept cards.
• Local buses run along the main coast road, but the stop is a short walk from the terminal and services are informal. Buses run roughly during daylight hours Monday to Saturday and depart when full rather than on a fixed timetable. There is little to no service on Sundays.

If your flight arrives in the evening or on a Sunday, public transport will not be running. A pre-booked transfer or taxi is essential. The Mulifanua ferry wharf to Savai'i island is near the airport if you are heading there instead of Apia.
