National Park of American Samoa
Plan Your Visit
 
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 that struck American Samoa on September 29, 2009. The visitor center at Pago Plaza was destroyed. Temporary offices and visitor center have opened in Ottoville, near the Pago Pago International Airport.

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

Flights

The nearest airport is Pago Pago International Airport on Tutuila Island. Air service is available twice per week to and from Honolulu, Hawaii. Scheduled flights in small planes serve the park areas in Ta'u and the nearby nation of Samoa.

Public Transportation

Rental cars and taxis are available. Loca Aiga buses (frequent, but unscheduled) travel throughout Tutuila Island from dawn to dusk, except Sundays.
