Galu is a tribe from Survivor: Samoa. Their tribe color is purple.
Galu proved to be the physically stronger tribe, winning eight of the ten tribal challenges against their rival Foa Foa tribe in part due to Russell Swan's leadership. However, after the merge, tribal conflicts erupted and Russell Hantz's gameplay emerged, causing its members to be eliminated in an almost consecutive order.

| Notes: ^1 Russell S. collapsed at the challenge, causing the challenge to be stopped with no winner. Galu and Foa Foa attended Tribal Council that night, to discuss Russell S.'s situation. The scheduled Double Tribal Council was cancelled, thus no one was voted out.
