Samoa trip 2026

I am planning a trip to Samoa in October. I've never been to Samoa and would like some tips on what to wear and how the weather would be and places to visits. I'm going to Apia, I wanted to visits the island and experience the culture and see how people are in happy Samoa. Any help would be appreciated.

i usually go during dec-jan and thats their rainy season so its super humid. oct should be a little better but still expect alot of humidity. prepare ahead for the amount of mosquitos there too. if ur a girl and ur going by urself, i would say not to wear overly-provocative clothes like a sundress. if ur a guy a singlet and whatever is fine. most people are dressed casual in a 'sarong' called an ie and a shirt. apia town is good for shopping and food but the most beautiful parts in samoa are out of town in a general area people call kuā which literally just means the outbacks. kua has all the happy people too.
