Getting there

Since the park is in a remote part of the South Pacific and has limited access opportunities, unless you live in Samoa more than casual planning is required to visit the park. The nearest airport is Pago Pago International Airport on Tutuila. Currently two flights a week round trip serve here from Honolulu. The International Airport at Upolo in nearby (Western) Samoa is served by several flights weekly from Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Connecting flights serve Tutuila from Upolo by twin-otter aircraft nearly daily.

 

Local and interisland air service

Irregularly scheduled flights (small planes) serve park areas of Ofu and Ta’u.  Currently Inter Island Vacations fly whenever passenger load warrants.

Did You Know?
Where still intact, Samoan rainforest extends from mountain summits to ocean shoreline. Because fruit bats are important pollinators, fruit bearing trees and shrubs are common.
