According to wholevehicles, Samoa is an archipelago of nine volcanic islands located in the South Pacific Ocean. The islands are divided into two distinct parts: Upolu and Savaii, which are connected by a causeway. The largest island, Upolu, is home to the capital city of Apia and most of the population. It is characterized by rolling hills and lush vegetation. Savaii is the largest island in Samoa and offers visitors a more rugged terrain with its steep volcanic mountains and rocky coastline. Both Upolu and Savaii have spectacular beaches with white sand, crystal clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. The climate in Samoa is subtropical with hot summers and mild winters. Rainfall varies from season to season but tends to be higher during the wetter months from December to March. Temperatures average around 25-30°C (77-86°F) throughout the year. The culture of Samoa is deeply rooted in Polynesian traditions that have been passed down through generations over thousands of years. Music plays an important role in Samoan culture, as does dance which often incorporates traditional costumes such as lava-lava skirts or sulus for men, as well as headdresses for women known as tupenus or tiaras. Samoan cuisine consists of fresh seafood dishes such as oka (raw fish) served with coconut milk, taro leaves cooked in coconut cream, palusami (taro leaves stuffed with coconut cream), and umu (an earth oven).
