Explore American Samoa

One of the jewels in the South Pacific’s crown, Samoa boasts a natural beauty that wows all visitors to its two chief islands.

From the tropical surroundings of the Palolo Deep National Marine Reserve to the wildlife of the Lake Lanoto’o National Park, you will not be able to resist falling in love. Enjoy the thrill of the Papaseea Sliding Rocks – a unique way to dive into the freshwater pool below – and lose yourself (metaphorically!) in the Dwarves Cave, in the village of Paia. The capital city, Apia, on the main island of Upolu, has some of the area’s finest food markets and you will get a real taste of Samoa’s traditional culture, such as its dancing and local music. Many Samoans also love their sport, particularly rugby union. To avoid the rainy season, come in June, July or August. One visit to this beguiling group of islands and you’ll be immediately planning your next trip!
