American Samoa is a collection of seven islands administered and influenced by the USA and lying about 100 km to the south east of Apia in Independent Samoa. There are six daily flights from Apia (Western Samoa) to Pago Pago Airport on Tutuila Island, taking about 40 minutes, as well as direct international flights from Hawaii with connections to LA and other US cities.

Tutuila Island is by far the largest and most populated island of the group. Its coast is rugged, with few beaches and its mountains steep and covered in tropical rain forest. Pago Pago is the capital set against steep mountains and a deep and extremely attractive harbour. Apart from the capital town of Pago Pago and the commercial area around the international airport, the island is only modestly developped with a scattering of small traditional villages along the coast. The beautiful montain scenery and beach walks on the Manu'a Islands, 100km to the east of Tutuila, are protected by National Parks with few developments and little tourist infrastructure. Tiny Rose and Swains atolls lie a further 100km east of Manu'a
