What is the best way to travel around American Samoa?

Accepted Answer

The best way to get around American Samoa is by using car hire companies. At the airport, you can find Thomas Car Rental. This is located next to the airport's main car park. If you want to use other car hire companies, there are many others around the island. You can find Coconut Car Rentals in the Pago Pago city centre. In Nuuuli, which is around 7min from the airport, you will find Tautai Car Rental, and a little further down the road, there is O & O Rental. There is no formal public transport in American Samoa. The buses in the area are called family buses or "aiga". These buses are easy to find around the country, but their timetables are not regular. Some of the most popular areas on the main island are Pago Pago, Fagaalu, Leone, and Tafuna. All of these cities are very close to each other; some are within walking distance. If you want to get to any of the other four islands that make up American Samoa, you can reach two of them by plane and all four by ferry. The ones you can reach by flight are Ta'u and Ofu. If you want to reach Ta'u, you can fly out from Pago Pago Airport and Fitiuta Airport (FAQ). When you fly into Ofu, you will arrive at Ofu Airport (OFU). The other two islands are very small, and few people live there; they are only accessible by ferry. These ferries only run a couple of times a week.
