Transport
You'll likely fly into Pago Pago (PPG) from Hawaii or Samoa. 'Aiga' buses are colorful, loud, and cheap family-run buses that circle the island. Renting a car is good for exploring at your own pace.
Culture
Sunday is a day of rest and prayer. Many activities stop. Always ask permission before entering a village or taking photos of people. Modest dress is appreciated outside of beach resorts.
FAQ
Do I need a US Visa?
It has its own immigration system. A US Visa doesn't guarantee entry, and you don't need a US Visa if you are just visiting American Samoa (check specific entry permit rules).
Internet?
Available, but can be slow. US carriers might roam, but check rates.
Can I hike anywhere?
Much of the land is communally owned. Always ask permission if you are crossing private or village land.
