Accessibility
 
The visitor center at Pago Plaza, one scenic overlook (Amalau Valley), and the 1/4 mile gravel trail to the Pola is wheelchair accessible. No other pull-outs or over-looks have been developed at this time and trails are unimproved, extremely steep and rugged.

Did You Know?
During the warm months of the southern hemisphere, Samoa’s humpback whales feed in the rich Antarctica waters, 3,200 miles to the south. When Antarctic's bitter winter sets in, humpbacks seek warmer waters, migrating northward, towards Australia and Tonga. At least some migrate onward to Samoa.
