Highlights
The only island in American Samoa with a significant population is Tutuila with the capital town of Pago Pago set in a beautiful deep water harbour on the south coast. By American standards, Pago Pago is a ramshackle place with seedy motels and brash American fast-food chains, although the harbour is significantly cleaner than during the 1990s when two massive tuna factories spoiled the environment. Tutuila has a rocky and wild coastline and receives few tourists - those that come do so to visit its three National Parks. The most accessible of these is on the north coast of Tutuila, with a tar-sealed road leading into it from Pago Town, but although the park encompasses much of the north coast, there are only a few walking trails to explore. More stunning are the National Parks of the Manu'a Group, with inspiring coastal scenery on both Tau and Ofu islands where razor sharp mountains tumble down to white sandy beaches. The group has only a few small villages and very basic guesthouse accommodation with unreliable communication.
