The only national park below the equator, American Samoa National Park covers 3 of the 5 islands in American Samoa. Initially granted protection status for the preservation of the Flying fox and historic rainforests, visitors quickly find out there is so much more worth protecting.

Many just stop in for the day on a cruise ship, but if you spend time driving and hiking on Tutuila Island, snorkeling on Ofu Island, or climbing to the top of 3,170 foot Lata Mountain on the Island of Tau, you won’t want to leave!
