The National Park of American Samoa represents a remarkable collaboration between conservation efforts and indigenous cultural preservation. Situated in the heart of the South Pacific, this park offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore a living cultural landscape alongside breathtaking natural beauty.
A rare tropical paradise spanning three islands—Tutuila, Ofu, and Ta'ū—this national park offers an exceptional glimpse into pristine Polynesian ecosystems. The park encompasses vibrant coral reefs, lush tropical rainforests, and steep volcanic landscapes. Visitors can experience unique marine and terrestrial environments that host numerous endemic species found nowhere else on Earth.
Established in 1988, the National Park of American Samoa is a unique partnership between the U.S. National Park Service and local Samoan villages. The park protects and preserves the region's extraordinary tropical rainforest, coral reefs, and Samoan cultural heritage. Unlike other national parks, this site is located on land owned by Samoan families, requiring special lease agreements that respect traditional land ownership practices.
