Stay home if youre broke 😂. Cant even afford to rent a car? 😂 i thought so. You are the kind of tourist that is not needed in Samoa. Locals need tourists with money. Not tourists who are travelling on a tight budget and gets triggered easily when they cant afford to pay for the services there 😂. The 60tala fare was when gas price was cheaper. That was like a decade ago 😂😂

I normally just pay it, I always arrived at the airport late so I definitely don’t have the time to question anything lol.

The airport is absolutely beautiful.

Very informative 👏. Thank you.

If you cant afford just stay home

If you think its a Scam mind as well ask a favor for the new Government and taxi will put back their meter ia g faakofa laia you will be charge more than that, just thanks its cheaper rather than using a meter.

No more BSP?

Damm 😋

If you went to Samoa broke and none of your family provided a ride for you then why the hell you complain? Gas is not cheap and $100 is reasonable fare to Apia from the airport.

Yep, vinaka uso. Its happening everywhere and its like a virus that travels all over the pacific ocean. 😂😂😂

45-minute drive for $50-60 sounds like a fair deal for Samoa. I'd just have to call my family for a ride if I don't want to pay that price. In the states I pay $100 a day for a 30 min ride (back and forth)

Good video!! 💯💯

Nice video!

Nice Vlog man......yeh the locals are just trying to hustle & make a living but appreciate your vlog yo keep banging out your vidz uce......

Top tier vlogs bro 👏🏽

Spanian comes and doesn’t complain once here, he understands that our money is double and can be more if American, what is a etra 20 to 30 tala is to you? How about you live there and maybe you will understand why people do what they gotta do for money

Oh here we go… another diaspora who probably hasn’t been to Samoa in so long arriving here calling things a scam just for viewers. Bruh… it be our own people!

Nice one cuz

$60 tala to town? LOL Maybe when you were in primary school. Mea ga kupu pe a le fai ma o mai i Samoa...

informational nice bruv

Thank you for this information for us uso"s who lived in the U.S. peace out homie you Dig,

Definitely not a scam in my opinion, considering it’s a 40-45min drive. An Uber costs more here in NZ for that distance, also it’s 100WST which is about 60NZD, reasonable pricing. Bit of an unfair take on the Taxi drivers/services in the homeland, but hey that’s your take I guess.

nice one uso..

If you want to maintain the integrity of your statements on personal videos like this, it pays to go and get the taxi fare fact sheet from the Ministry of Transport or the Ministry of Labour. They will give you a printed sheet to endorse your statements! I'm not talking about the cost here, I am talking about the facts!

Its called Hussle uso

Malo uso. Happy new year to you and the family back hm in chch. Alofa Aku

This guy is a ufa go back to where you came from ae sele this guy been white washed colonizer aikae

The price has always been $90-$100 tala from the Airport to Town for the past 15 years !! What are ypu talking about bro you must be new to samoa

I always pay 80wst…And this is an agreed amount suggested by the Samoa airport authority….but most of them taxi drivers are willing to negotiate. At the same time I know life is hard on the islands. As long as I stick to my budget I don’t mind paying extras. I do the same everywhere I travel. Are they trying to scam us? Maybe, but what exactly are you comparing that to?…

thanks bro. much appreciated

Comments sounding like money grows on trees. 👀 He said what he said, be mad or happy you contributed to the video, manuia le aso. 😅👏🏽

Malô brada le malaga..👏👏👏👏 take care there

Thank you brother for your short vid. It helps us in a lot of ways and what to look for.

100 tala is like $50 - $60nzd. From airport to Apia is fair deal.

sole don't crab the taxi driver ok sekia Digi 🤣🤣

I get it hes from india lol and thinks tala is US dollars hehe

Catch the bus if you cant afford it ffs 🤦🏽

those defending the scammers pls have a look at yourself… these scammers are going church every week and acting holy but same time scamming people at the airport which one is it holy or a lying cheat god aint gonna take both 😂😂😂

There's a better way to address this instead of bringing down a whole country due to your 1 person experience. If you don't know, Samoa government had an ad on tv addressing this. People like you just want the views, this is not the Samoan way. Taxi's in Aus (Brisbane airport) are way worse, NZ taxi's in Auckland far more. So please, say something nice.

Aaahhhhh shut up 😂

Bad content, I’ve been to Samoa myself and they are beautiful people and would happy to pay the locals $100 tala for a ride into town.

From Nadi International Airport to the Tokatoka hotel which is roughly 200m, by taxi (yellow cap) is FJ $10, but from the Tokatoka hotel to Namaka shopping centre, which is 1.5 km, by taxi is $5 FJ.

What did you expect? Our people don’t have much in the islands. In other countries the taxes tax the shit out of you. If you don’t like the prices then savali loa.

..”This is 100% Legend, No Scram🫠” 😂😂😂

Magaia le warning. Kagaka a kakou se e iloa fo’i gaoi automatic pe a faalogo aku e gagu le faasamoa a le au travelers. Same think with beach resorts. Ua $100 up just to go to the beach for a swim

Taxi fares in Samoa will always be contentious due to the lack Taxi Meters. I've been traveling to and from Samoa for the last 40 years and and this has always been the problem. Taxi drivers don't need to inflate fares because most passengers, including myself always pay more than the fare quoted. In 2023, the last time I visited, I did a small grocery shopping at Frankie's for my taxi driver. You see, honesty can surprise you in so many ways.

That's how the costs of living now are quite expensive. Samoa 100 tala won't cost your life living, some of our people don't see a 100 tala note in months. "It's more blessed to give than receive".
