American Samoa

A U.S. territory in the South Pacific, where volcanic islands, coral reefs and traditional Samoan culture are well preserved.

American Samoa is an unincorporated U.S. territory in the eastern part of the Samoan Islands in the South Pacific, made up mainly of Tutuila, the Manuʻa Islands and two remote atolls. The islands are mostly steep volcanic terrain covered in tropical rainforest, surrounded by rich coral reefs. The National Park of American Samoa spans several islands and offers hiking and snorkeling; Pago Pago Harbor is spectacular, and the local people preserve a traditional Samoan way of life. The climate is hot and humid, with a relatively dry season from May to October. The gateway is Pago Pago International Airport.
