The Complete Family Travel Guide to American Samoa

What is the best way to get to American Samoa? American Samoa can be accessed by flight, cruise ship or private sailing yachts. But if you're travelling with your family, then we're guessing you're coming via the most convenient and comfortable way: by international flight, so let's start with that.

Flying to American Samoa

Direct international flights to American Samoa come from Apia (Samoa) and Honolulu (Hawai'i). If you're coming from further afield, you'll find connecting flights at Honolulu, while you can connect to Apia via New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and French Polynesia. See our guide, Which Airlines Fly Directly to American Samoa? for more advice.

All international arrivals land at Pago Pago International Airport on the island of Tutuila, approximately 10-15 minutes from the nation's capital, Pago Pago. Find out more about the airport and what to expect in Which Airport to Fly into American Samoa.

Cruises to American Samoa

American Samoa is on the itinerary of several South Pacific cruises from New Zealand, Australia, the US and French Polynesia, as well as round-the-world cruises from Europe. There is one port of call in American Samoa, Pago Pago, where tours of the greater Tutuila island are easy to organise.

Find out about which cruise liners have American Samoa on their itinerary, as well as what to do at each port of call in the 10 Best Cruises that Go to American Samoa.

Sailing to American Samoa

American Samoa is situated on the Transpacific journey between the US and New Zealand. The yachting season is between May and October. Learn about the sailing formalities and the port of entry in our Sailing Guide to American Samoa.

A Note About Entry Permits

All overseas visitors, including children, need to apply for an Entry Permit before travelling to American Samoa, even if you are a U.S. citizen. Entry Permits/OK To Board are checked before your flight and on arrival. Anyone who does not have an OTB will be denied entry into American Samoa.

Learn more about this process in our guide, American Samoa Entry Permit: Do You Need a Visa to Visit American Samoa?

An Extra Note on Customs Declarations

American Samoa has strict biosecurity measures at the border to stop unwanted pests and diseases from entering the territory. Therefore, anyone arriving in American Samoa has to declare any "risk items" they have packed in their luggage – even common items like food and sports gear. Be sure to read up on Arriving in American Samoa: Airport Customs, Biosecurity & Arrival Process so you are prepared.

Check out our complete guide on How to Get to American Samoa for even more tips on making your way to the islands.

American Samoa is a tropical paradise that offers families consistently warm temperatures throughout the year, making it perfect for year-round adventures with the kids. The territory has two distinct seasons that each offer unique family experiences: a dry season, which is drier and less humid but windier (ideal for outdoor activities and beach days), and a wet season, which is hotter and more humid but less windy (perfect for exploring indoor attractions and enjoying the lush, green landscapes).

Learn more about the climate in our guide, American Samoa Weather, Seasons & Climate + American Samoa Weather by Month.

Dry Season (May to October)

The dry season is the most popular time to visit American Samoa, not only for the temperatures of around 82-84°F (28-29°C) but the lower (but not exactly low) rainfall per month at an average of 5-9 in (125-233 mm). However, the tradewind season is in full swing, making it less ideal for water activities. The dry season is also the time for surfing, catching the occasional whale sighting, experiencing some popular events, and hiking the national park trails.

Wet Season (November to April)

The wet season is hotter and more humid, with temperatures around 86°F (30°C) and an average monthly rainfall of 10-16 in (250-395 mm). This is also the South Pacific's cyclone season, which means there's a risk of cyclones (but only a risk, which you can learn more about in A Guide to Cyclone Safety in American Samoa). Ironically, it's also when water conditions are calmest due to weaker tradewinds. The wet season is also the best time for catching marlin and yellowfin tuna, snorkelling from shore, or doing excursions on boat trips.

The Best Time to Visit American Samoa with Kids

American Samoa is a fantastic destination for families year-round due to its limited tourism industry, which means fewer crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere. However, to get your first pick of family accommodations and flights, it's best to visit during quieter seasons when fewer Samoans are coming from overseas to visit families and there are no school holidays, like the low season (February to April) or shoulder seasons (May and September to November). During these periods, you'll have better availability of family rooms and holiday homes, making your trip with children much more comfortable.

Still can't decide when the best time is to travel to the islands? Check out our complete guide, The Best Time to Visit American Samoa, which dives much deeper into the subject.

The main thing you need to keep in mind when packing for American Samoa is having a tropical wardrobe that includes some more modest items of clothing for going out in villages.

A packing list for American Samoa might look a little something like this for each family member (where applicable):

• 4 Singlets/T-Shirts

• 1 Light Cardigan/Pashmina/Poncho for windy/rainy days

And that's just the clothes and extras for kids! For a full packing list of everything to take, including accessories and toiletries, check out What to Pack for American Samoa: A Full American Samoa Packing List.

Health Products

With high UV levels and the presence of mosquitoes, certain health products are essential for keeping your family safe and comfortable in American Samoa. American Samoa also has a fragile marine ecosystem, so reef-safe sunscreens and repellents are a must to protect both your loved ones and the environment.

On a similar note, a reusable water purification bottle is perfect for families, ensuring everyone stays hydrated with clean water whilst reducing plastic waste—a great way to teach children about environmental responsibility.

See our health essentials packing list in What Medication to Pack in Your First Aid Kit for American Samoa, as well as tips for protecting the health of the environment in the 30 Ways to Travel More Sustainably in American Samoa.

Currency

The currency in American Samoa is the US Dollar. Cash is king in American Samoa and is the most accepted form of payment, so having enough with you while exploring the islands is essential. Some vendors accept MasterCard, while others also accept other credit card brands. More commonly, vendors accept PayPal. ATMs can be found around the town areas of Pago Pago and Tafuna, while there is one ATM on Ofu and another in Fitiuta, Ta'ū.

Travel Documents and Paperwork

As mentioned, visitors to American Samoa need an Entry Permit. You also need a passport that is valid for no less than six months after the intended date of departure, or a U.S. Government-issued photo ID. There may be other current entry requirements, which we keep up to date in What Documents Do I Need to Travel to American Samoa?

Let's get one thing straight: American Samoa is not your destination for chilling at a resort and relaxing. This is a place where families will absolutely love actively exploring together, not only for island-hopping adventures but mostly for memorable road-tripping around its main island.

We'd recommend the minimum number of days to spend in American Samoa is five days if just visiting Tutuila. However, 10 to 14 days are the recommended number of days for a truly satisfying family trip to American Samoa, especially if you include both Tutuila and the Manu'a Islands.

With all that in mind, here's what your family can achieve in certain timeframes… (And don't worry, we'll get onto the destinations in the next few sections).

3 Days / A Long Weekend in American Samoa

Over three days or a long weekend, your family has enough time to visit American Samoa's capital, Pago Pago, and perhaps explore one side of Tutuila together. Check out the American Samoa Itinerary: 3 Days for a suggested trip idea.

5 Days in American Samoa

Five days give you just enough time to explore the main island of Tutuila and its capital, Pago Pago, but not Aunu'u or the Manu'a Islands. See American Samoa Itinerary: 5 Days for a recommended vacation plan.

7 Days / 1 Week in American Samoa

Some families will find that seven days is enough to explore everything there is to see on Tutuila, including the island of Aunu'u, while more intrepid travellers might want to squeeze in a trip to Ofu and Olosega in the Manu'a Islands. Get some inspiration on what to do and where to go from the American Samoa Itinerary: 7 Days.

10 Days in American Samoa

10 days is a comfortable amount of time to enjoy both Tutuila and Ofu and Olosega in the Manu'a Islands. Check out our American Samoa Itinerary: 10 Days for an affordable holiday agenda.

14 Days / 2 Weeks in American Samoa

The perfect amount of time to experience American Samoa is two weeks. That will give you plenty of time to visit all of the territory's populated islands, including Tutuila, Aunu'u, Ofu, Olosega and Ta'ū, while not having the sense of "rushing it". See American Samoa Itinerary: 14 Days for a whole fortnight of awesomeness.

How Long Can You Stay in American Samoa?

Visitors to American Samoa can stay up to 30 days! Or, if you're a Samoan citizen, only 10 days. Learn more about how long you can stay in our guide, American Samoa Entry Permit: Do You Need a Visa to Visit American Samoa?

American Samoa is made up of five main islands and two coral atolls, with the largest and most populated being Tutuila. The main island of Tutuila is home to the capital Pago Pago and the territory's only international airport, making it the perfect starting point for families looking to explore this Pacific paradise.

The Manu'a Islands (consisting of Ta'ū, Ofu and Olosega) lie about 62 mi (100 km) east of Tutuila and offer families seeking adventure a more secluded island experience where children can discover pristine beaches and unique wildlife in a safe, welcoming environment.

Compare the most popular islands to visit, as well as how to experience some of American Samoa's smaller islands in The Best Islands to Visit in American Samoa. Otherwise, here's a quick rundown of each destination.

Tutuila

As the most accessible island in American Samoa with the best range of family-friendly accommodations and attractions, Tutuila is our top pick for families visiting for the first time. This rugged beauty welcomes all international flights through Pago Pago International Airport, but don't just use it as a stepping stone; the island offers dramatic coastlines, gentle mountain trails and traditional villages that children will find fascinating.

Your family will love the mix of convenience and adventure, whether taking the kids on an easy hike up Mt ʻAlava, enjoying safe snorkelling in the calm waters of Fagasā or Fagatele Bay, or watching spectacular sunsets behind rainforested cliffs together. The cultural scene offers plenty for families with kid-friendly shops, beautiful churches and the educational Jean P. Haydon Museum where children can learn about local history and culture.

For easy access and diverse experiences, Tutuila is your perfect base. Start planning with The Complete Travel Guide to Pago Pago & Tutuila.

Ofu-Olosega

For pure family escapism, Ofu and Olosega offer untouched beauty without crowds; perfect for creating lasting memories with your children. Life moves at island pace, giving families time to reconnect, and you'll likely have pristine beaches and gentle trails all to yourselves for safe exploration and play.

Minimal tourism infrastructure is part of the magic, with just two or three guesthouses providing local hospitality (find options in our Where to Stay on Ofu, Olosega & Ta'u guide).

Snorkel world-famous Ofu Beach, hike to Mt Tumu or Oge Beach, or wander between villages. You might spot humpback whales between July and October. Just mind the aitu (ghosts) locals warn about!

Browse our 20 Best Things to Do in the Manu'a Islands, then plan with The Complete Travel Guide to the Manu'a Islands.

Ta'ū

The easternmost Manu'a Island, Ta'ū calls to families seeking an extraordinary adventure together. This remote island hosts fewer than 1,000 people, ancient legends and American Samoa's tallest peak, Mt Lata.

Getting here requires planning, a ferry or flight from Tutuila, but rewards your family with tranquillity and proud "Manukan" culture. Children will be fascinated by dramatic cliffs, wild beaches, rainforest and prehistoric archaeological sites. Explore the National Park of American Samoa trails together, creating unforgettable memories whilst protecting this rugged terrain.

It's raw, remote and rewarding for authentic island life seekers. Learn more in The Complete Travel Guide to the Manu'a Islands.

Aunu'u

Don't overlook Aunu'u, American Samoa's perfect family day-trip destination off Tutuila's southeast coast. This volcanic island combines scenic beauty with fascinating natural wonders that will captivate children and adults alike: unique red quicksand lakes and pristine postcard beaches perfect for family exploration.

Local boats make 10-15 minute hops from Auasi daily (except Sundays), delivering your family to gentle marshlands, easy hiking trails suitable for little legs, and breathtaking ocean views.

Start planning with The Travel Guide to Aunu'u.

The distances between islands in American Samoa are a short flight or a full-day ferry journey apart, making island-hopping by boat a wonderful and convenient option for families. Once you have arrived on Tutuila, getting around is also made extremely easy with the abundance of buses, taxis and vehicle rentals available. For the Manu'a Islands, getting around is more at a natural pace by walking or relying on the kindness of your host.

Ferries and Boat Transport

Ferries sail back and forth between Tutuila and the Manu'a Islands three times a month, providing a scenic journey that families will love. Boat transport to Aunu'u offers another delightful way to explore, while private boat hire between the Manu'a Islands gives families the flexibility to travel at their own pace.

Learn more in our American Samoa Ferry Guide: How to Use the Ferry for Interisland Travel in American Samoa.

Car Rental

Renting a car is the most popular way for families to get around Tutuila. You can choose from a range of vehicles, from compact cars perfect for navigating the island's roads to more spacious SUVs ideal for families with luggage and equipment. A valid driver's licence from your home country is sufficient for short-term visitors.

Find out everything you need to know about hiring in What You Need to Hire a Car in American Samoa.

Local Buses

Tutuila has a vibrant fleet of colourful buses that provide a fun and authentic way for families to explore the island alongside locals. These buses offer a genuine cultural experience, though they operate on island time rather than strict schedules, so it's best to allow plenty of time for your family adventures.

Find out more in our guide, Taking the Bus in American Samoa: Bus Fares, Routes & More.

Taxis

Taxis are also in abundance on Tutuila, offering convenient rides for short distances, whilst fares can be negotiated for longer journeys (for example, a trip between Pago Pago and the airport is easily arranged). Ask about drivers' hourly rates for sightseeing.

See Taxis in American Samoa: Taxi Fares, How to Use & More for more useful advice.

Whilst those are the main ways to get around American Samoa, you can dive into all of your options, including sightseeing tours and airport transfers, in the American Samoa Transport Guide: 15 Best Ways to Get Around American Samoa.

American Samoa does not have a well-developed tourism industry, so don't expect fancy resorts or for the infrastructure to be updated since the '70s. As American Samoa is a developing territory, accommodation standards might not be as high as you're used to. But where the country truly shines is its more authentic locally-owned hotels, homestays and B&Bs that offer families a genuine cultural experience and warm hospitality that children will remember for years to come.

Discover the best family-friendly accommodations across the islands in the 10 Best Family Accommodations in American Samoa.

Family-Friendly Hotels

Particularly in Utulei (Pago Pago) and Tafuna on Tutuila, hotels make up much of the family accommodation. Hotels often have facilities like an outdoor pool or tidal pool. Some also have a restaurant on site. Rooms are private and have an ensuite. Don't expect babysitting services or any extra facilities for families.

Check out some of these accommodations listed in the Where to Stay in Pago Pago & Tutuila: 10 Best Accommodations.

Homestays & Lodges

Most of the accommodations making up the Manu'a accommodation scene are small-scale accommodations like homestays and lodges that offer affordable rates, typically with meals available to purchase. Facilities usually include private rooms with a choice of shared or private bathroom, with communal areas such as a lounge and dining area or kitchen.

Some of these accommodations are listed in Where to Stay in Ofu, Olosega & Ta'ū (Manu'a Islands): 10 Best Accommodations.

Holiday Homes

In both Tutuila and the Manu'a Islands, locals are listing their properties on websites like Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb, offering excellent value for families seeking comfortable accommodation.

Food is an integral part of the Samoan culture. Despite there being limited dining options outside of main centres like Pago Pago and Tafuna, accommodation hosts will ensure you won't go hungry by either providing homecooked meals of Samoan fare (the cheapest option) or ensuring you have kitchen facilities to cook your own meals.

Everything you need to know about food in American Samoa can be found in The Food Guide to American Samoa: Places to Eat & Food Tours.

The Best Restaurants and Cafés for Families

Self-Catering

Self-catering is perfect for families with holiday homes and B&Bs on Tutuila and in every accommodation in the Manu'a Islands. You'll find well-stocked convenience stores selling all the essentials you need for family meals across the territory.

As self-catering is such a big topic to cover, we have a separate guide in A Guide to Supermarkets & Food Shopping in American Samoa.

Special Diets

With tropical vegetables and coconut cream being staple ingredients in American Samoa, vegans and gluten-intolerant diners are usually easy to cater for, but you may struggle to find "creative" dishes. For the Manu'a Islands, let your accommodation hosts know about any dietary requirements before you arrive.

Check out American Samoa for Vegans & Vegetarians + 10 Best Restaurants, as well as The Gluten-Free Guide to American Samoa for more advice.

What Food to Try

And what are the foods worth trying in American Samoa? With traditional dishes, from rich and creamy palusami to refreshing oka, trying the local staples is one of the best things about visiting American Samoa. Look out for the items listed in the 20 Foods to Try in American Samoa.

Food and Water Safety

Family-friendly accommodations in American Samoa typically provide bottled water in your room for your first night of stay. After that, you'll find it convenient to purchase bottled water for the whole family or, for a more environmentally conscious approach, consider bringing reusable water bottles with built-in purification systems that allow everyone to safely drink from the tap. See Is the Water Safe to Drink in American Samoa? for more advice.

Food in American Samoa is generally cooked to safe hygiene standards, but check out American Samoa Safety Tips for precautions to take.
