You would be amazed to realize that there is an official US territory south of the equator and more surprisingly it is inhabited as well. American Samoa is often given reverence for its zeal of American football and obsession for Mc Donald, yet just the couple of adventurous and daring voyagers are enlightened that the island possesses irresistible charm that none from the Tahiti and Hawaii can't stand it. It has a rich society which practices centuries old morals and conventions. In the event that you are searching for a Polynesia that is different in terms of appeal, overflowing with choices of adventures and which offers a feeling of serenity, American Samoa might just be the place for you.

Most of the population and commerce is centered on the main island of Tuitila, around the Pago harbor. The vacationers who long for solitude can make a move to the Manua's Islands toward the east, yet transportation can be a bit of an issue and time consuming too.

The watery dreams at American Samoa don't wind up with the shorelines, despite the fact that extends of sparkling white sands are never too far away. Embrace the charm of the lumpy, port town of Pago by paddling around the coast or join the nearby kayaking group for entrancing vistas of the bowl-like crests and their mesmerizing reflections off the crystalline waters.

The majority of the islands' shorelines are spotted by rugged rocks which are covered with green sheets, which gives enigmatic contrast to purplish Blue Ocean. The most ideal approach to take in the baffling picturesque magnificence is, by climbing the National Marine Sanctuary of Samoa trail. Along your climb you will get the opportunity to see numerous melancholy shorelines and you couldn't request a more sensational end to the trek; a blowhole just underneath the crest, which as indicated by the legends, is the spot where a young lady and her grandmother transformed into a shark and turtle.

The most extraordinary and beguiling shoreline of the American Samoa is the Ofu shoreline on the Manua's Islands. The gorgeous setting of the shoreline with verdant green forested slopes cut by deltas at the background will leave a strong imprint on your psyche.
