National Park of American Samoa

The National Park of American Samoa is a United States national park in the United States territory of American Samoa, distributed across three of the Samoan Islands: Tutuila, Ofu, and TaÊ»Å«. The park preserves and protects coral reefs, tropical rainforests, fruit bats, and the Samoan culture. Popular activities include hiking, snorkeling, and scuba diving. Of the park’s 8,257 acres, 2,500 acres are coral reefs and ocean. The park is the only National Park Service unit south of the equator.

The National Park of American Samoa was established on October 31, 1988 and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. The park was created to protect the natural and cultural resources of American Samoa and is managed by the National Park Service, which works with the Samoan government to protect the park’s resources.

The park offers visitors many activities including hiking through the rainforest, snorkeling in the coral reefs, or scuba diving in the ocean. The park also offers a variety of cultural activities, such as learning about the Samoan way of life. Obviously this park can be challenging to get to, but flights are available from Hawaii and other locations in the Pacific.
