National Park of American Samoa - Plan Your Visit (U.S. National Park Service)

Maps and brochures to plan for a visit to the park.

Visiting the park in American Samoa requires a good bit of advance planning.

The park is open and unaffected by the destructive tsunami to hit American Samoa on Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The visitor center at Pago Plaza was destroyed. Temporary offices and visitor center have opened in Ottoville, eight miles from their former location.

Good road maps are not generally available either from rental car companies, AAA, or web sites. Currently, the best map, Islands of Samoa, is available from the University of Hawaii Press.

Getting there by Plane
The nearest airport is Pago Pago International Airport on Tutuila. Air service is available two times a week to and from Honolulu. Scheduled flights (small planes) serve park areas at Ofu and Ta'u, and the nearby nation of Samoa.

Public Transportation
Rental cars and taxi service are available. Local "Aiga" buses (frequent, but unscheduled) travel Tutuila from dawn to dusk, except Sundays.
