Rules in force · 9Heat and uneven pavements
  • Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
  • Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
  • Polynesia ↗In much of Polynesia Sunday is kept for church and family: expect shops, tours and some flights to stop, and dress and behave quietly in villages.
  • Samoa ↗Most passports receive a free 60-day visitor permit on arrival with an onward ticket, funds and booked accommodation, but rules vary: check the Samoa Immigration Office for your passport before booking.
  • Samoa ↗Beaches, pools and waterfalls are village land: pay the customary fee, and follow the evening prayer curfew (sa) by stopping and keeping quiet if you are in a village when it sounds.
  • Samoa ↗Drive on the left; check with the rental company whether your licence is accepted or a temporary local permit is required.
  • Upolu ↗Plan Sunday as a rest day: many shops, tours and village swimming spots are closed.
  • Apia ↗Heat and uneven pavements: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Apia ↗Sunday is a rest day: most shops, market stalls and tours are closed and swimming near villages is often not allowed. Plan your town sights for Monday to Saturday.
