National Park of American Samoa
Accessibility
 
The temporary visitor center in Ottoville, one scenic overlook (Amalau Valley), and the 1/4 mile gravel trail to the Pola are wheelchair accessible. No other pull-outs or over-looks have been developed at this time and trails are unimproved, extremely steep and rugged.  Keep in mind that the Territory is underdeveloped for accessibility as well.  Travel around the island may be challenging at times.
Samoan fruit bats hanging at rest  

Did You Know?
Throughout the Pacific the main reason for the rarity of the two fruit bat species, or flying foxes, is that it is widely sought as a food and considered a delicacy. Sale or trade in fruit bats is now illegal in the U.S. and its territories.
