Namua’s, a small, uninhabited island off the east coast of Upolu island in Samoa, in central South Pacific Ocean, one of the four small islands in the Aleipata Islands grouping, an idyllic destination and popular spot for family getaways or private escapes, has lauched a new electric boat to enhance the travel experience for visitors by providing a more comfortable and convenient way to reach the island from the mainland.
This new service is part of an effort to improve accessibility, and is a state - of - the art addition that offers a smoother more comfortable and pleasant journey to visit one of the most visited remote destinations in the Pacific due to its secluded location and beautiful sandy beaches, offering stunning swimming and snorkeling, sometimes among turtles, fishing and hiking to the top of the local hill to see the resident bat colony and the stunning coastal views.
The electric boat, received through the collaborative efforts of the government via the Ministry of Women, Community and Social Development and the Ministry of Works, Transport, and Infrastructure, represents a pivotal advancement in Samoa’s commitment to sustainable tourism.
The initiative is part of the Climate Action Pathways for Island Transport (CAP - IT) project funded by the government through JICA’s Green Transformation initiative, which aims to promote sustainable transport solutions across Pacific nations.
The new electric boat provides a more comfortable and convenient mode of transportation compared to older, smaller dinghies, making it easier for guests and tourists to access Namu’a Island from the main island and by using electric power, the new boat is a more sustainable and eco - friendly option for tourism on the island.
The owner and director of Namu’a Island site Levasa Ieti Taisa. stated that the new electric boat will undoubtedly enrich the experience for the tourists flocking to discover the beauty of Namu’a Island.
