Visit American Samoa

American Samoa is located closer to Australia than the mainland United States, serving as an unincorporated territory for the later. There are five primary islands and two atolls in this territory. Along with Jarvis Island, which is unincorporated, American Samoa is the southernmost point for the United States.

One of the best ways to get to know this island location is to explore the National Park of American Samoa. Base your adventure in Pago Pago and then your tour can include the many unique opportunities of the park. From the fruit bats to the rainforest trails, the park is rugged and authentic because it can be difficult to access. Plan a connecting flight and a charter boat in advance for the best possible experience.

The beaches of American Samoa are the beautiful white sands and turquoise waters that one imagines for a South Pacific holiday. Even the national park has a stunning beach, called Ofu, where you can climb volcanic boulders or splash in the shallows. Many of the beaches will be mostly empty because of the island’s remote location, which means you can relax under a warm sun, gentle waves, and a quiet breeze.

Two Dollar Beach is somewhat rustic, but offers stunning views that you’ll never forget. Take the time to explore the coral reefs and tidal pools during your stay.

If you love to explore and want to enjoy island life, then American Samoa is the place to be. Some call it a forgotten corner of the United States. You’ll call it a perfect paradise.
