Tutuila

in

Tutuila is a mountainous island in American Samoa, with coastal villages, harbour settlements and forested interior slopes. Government, fishing and communal land traditions shape everyday life. The relationship between steep volcanic ridges, village bays and rainforest roads across a compact island at the heart of an american pacific territory and island gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Driving, hiking and snorkelling provide the main experiences, while village etiquette remains important. Roads follow the narrow coast and can be slow. Spending time with both steep volcanic ridges and village bays and rainforest roads across a compact island at the heart of an american pacific territory reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
