Extra Travel Tips

Samoa is warm, welcoming, and proudly traditional. While cards are accepted in Apia and major hotels, cash is essential for village stays, roadside stalls, local buses, and cultural experiences where digital payments aren’t common.

  • Mix Cash & Card – Samoa is card-friendly in Apia and major resorts, but shops, village markets, and churches often prefer cash.
  • Use WST in Samoa, not AUD – Paying in local currency ensures better rates and avoids unnecessary conversion fees.
  • Watch ATM Fees – Some foreign cards incur withdrawal charges. Use ANZ Samoa, BSP, or post office ATMs for reliable access and clearer fee structures. ATMs are limited on Savai’i—carry enough cash before crossing islands.
  • Leftover Tala After Your Trip? Danesh Exchange offers a buy-back service for unused Samoan Tala—simple, secure, and great value.
