American Samoa is a tropical paradise and the climate averages 84 degrees to 86 degrees Fahrenheit all year round and the ocean waters that surround our islands averaging 82°- 86° Fahrenheit. With 90% of our islands covered in untouched tropical rainforest our flora and fauna is very unique. The National Park of American Samoa is the only US Park in the South Pacific, offering challenging and dramatic hiking trails to historical sites, secluded beaches and villages. The National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa is the largest and one of only 13 conservation areas found throughout the United States.
