==Ferry terminal== thumb|right|250px|Satellite image showing the Apolima Strait between Savai'i (top of photo) and [[Upolu with tiny Apolima and Manono islands between them. (NASA photo)]] The ferry terminal at Mulifanua wharf is five minutes west of Faleolo International Airport. The government's Samoa Shipping Corporation operates the ferry service, seven days a week, between Mulifanua and Salelologa at the east end of Savai'i island. A one-way trip between the two islands takes about 90 minutes. The ferry usually runs every two hours during the day. There are several small shops selling snacks, and there are always buses and taxis available at the terminal for departures and arrivals.
