A Blend of Polynesia and Americana

A unique blend of modernity and history
About American Samoa
About halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii in the very heart of Polynesia lies the charming American Samoa. A destination off the beaten path, American Samoa is a spectacle of volcanic mountains towering over turquoise waters and variegated rainforests.
The islands of Tutuila, Tau, Olosega, Ofu, and Aunuu, along with the coral atolls Rose and Swain make up the American Samoa. The Island of Tutuila is the largest and hosts Pago Pago, American Samoa’s capital. The island is home to Pago Pago Bay – one of the world’s most exquisite naturally formed harbours, and it nearly divides the island into two. Mount Matafao is the highest point in these parts and offers unforgettable views of the island and the harbour. American Samoa is yet to become touristy and so finding a beach to yourself or a wave to break all on your own is as common as finding a hammock to have a siesta in. A pristine eco-haven, American Samoa is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be experienced.
Things to Do in American Samoa
American Samoa has plenty to eat, see and experience and we are confident that guests will be engrossed for days on end. First timers and veterans are often spotted on food walks around the city, sampling traditional fares, or grabbing a bite of American Classics like burgers and fries. The modern enclave of Pago Pago hosts many modern restaurants and fast food joints and guests will find plenty of options to regale their taste buds with. Rainforest excursions, planned hikes exploring the volcanic landscape and jaunts around the city are a great way to shed any excess calories and pick up on local lores. Then, guests can always work up an appetite with aquatic adventures. Surf, Swim, Snorkel and Sail to your heart’s content. Dive these turquoise waters teeming with corals and meet their equally colourful denizens. Veterans and enthusiastic first-timers will not want to miss out on the many bewitching dive sites dotting these islands. Or, guests could opt to take it easy instead. Visit the famous two-dollar beach to mingle with locals and visitors alike or just find a secluded beach to call their own and curl up with a book and rejuvenating coconut water. Village visits and traditional events make for excellent cultural immersion and we thoroughly recommend checking them out to get a taste of Fa’a Samoa.
Best Time to Visit American Samoa
November to March is the hot and wet season with a chance of severe storms – that’s the ‘best’ of low season, really. April to October is ripe for visits with July being the coolest. The mercury usually hovers around 32°C with humidity, roughly 80%. This means a spell now and then is common and with the south east trade winds, brings in some respite from the heat. September and October are great months to visit if guests want to catch a whale song or two.
Hotels and Resorts in American Samoa
Given its remoteness, the American Samoas are somewhat of an exclusive experience. An unspoilt tropical sanctuary with pristine beaches, low-headcount and equally pristine waters, American Samoa beckons to all looking for an unhurried tropical getaway. There are not many large hotels or multinational hotel chains here but warm homestays, inns and stand-alone hotels like Tradewinds, which makes for languid holidays in this South Pacific paradise.
Top 5 Experiences in American Samoa
American Samoa remains a little-explored destination, ripe for exotic experiences. While there’s plenty to explore, our South Pacific Specialists strongly suggest the following. First up, guests will want to hike up Mt. ‘Alava to get some of the best views in all of American Samoa. They can also check out the remains of an old cable car at the summit, which at a point in time used to be the longest cable route in the world. A day exploring the Fagatele and Fogama’a bays is a day well spent. The hike takes guests through rocky cliffs, feisty waves and natural blowholes. Do remember to carry snorkelling gears for a quip dip in the ‘Big Momma’. Or perhaps pristine secluded drop-dead gorgeous beaches are more your calling, in which case we would like to point you to Ofu island. This is a little-known gem of the South Pacific a far cry from the cacophony of touristy beaches. The Asaga Bridge aka The Golden Gate of the Pacific is a must see when at Ofu. The American Samoa was pretty active during the second world war and the WWII relics still populate the region to this day, a must see, especially for history buffs. Last but not the least, we thoroughly suggest checking out the vibrant local food scene, especially the Pago Plaza and Fagatogo square where guests will get to sample it all – authentic traditional recipes to American Classics and everything in between.
