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.
 

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.  (On e-mail search for University Press of Hawaii and look up that title there or at Amazon).

Getting there by Plane
The nearest airport is Pago Pago International Airport on Tutuila.  Air service is available a few 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 travel Tutuila from dawn to dusk.

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.
