American Samoa is a collection of astonishingly beautiful South Pacific islands. The two coral atolls and five volcanic islands are lush and green, with sharp peaks along the coastlines.
The Heart of Polynesia offers a fascinating blend of Polynesian customs and American values. The main island of Tutuila is a hiker's paradise. Explore the waterfalls, beaches and archeological sites hidden in the forests and mountains.
Steep slopes fall to sparkling white beaches on the islands of Ofu and Olosega. The two islands are connected by a bridge and provide an escape from the more modernized islands. Snorkel the reefs or simply take a walk in the calm quiet. Small guesthouses and family-style meals will make you feel like a true islander.
Each island offers a unique experience. A blend of the US and the tropics, you will find this gateway to the Pacific an adventure to repeat.
