National Park of American Samoa

Getting to the Park:

The Samoan archipelago includes the US Territory of American Samoa and the independent nation of Samoa (formerly Western Samoa). The islands are located 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii and 1,800 miles northwest of New Zealand, between Fiji and Tahiti. The Samoan chain stretches east to west for more than 300 miles between 13 and 15 degree south latitude (below the equator). It is just east of the international dateline, in the time zone that is one hour earlier than Hawaii.

American Samoa, which is 76 square miles in size, consists of five rugged, highly eroded (and extinct) volcanic islands, and two coral atolls. The population is approximately 60,000, with most of the people living on the main island of Tutuila. 

By Air: The nearest airport is Pago Pago International Airport on Tutuila. Airplane service is available several times per week from Honolulu. Regularly scheduled flights (small planes) serve park areas of Ofu and Ta'u, and the nearby nation of Samoa.

Getting Around:  Several car rental facilities are available at the airport and/or on the island. Taxis are available at the airport, and near the market in Fagatogo. The island of Tutuila has good public transportation (frequent, but unscheduled) via "aiga" or "family" buses. Buses originate and terminate at the market in Fagatogo, the village right next to Pago Pago. The roads are generally too narrow and the traffic to busy for bicycles.
