Pago Pago is the capital city of American Samoa. In the Samoan language it is pronounced Pahngo-Pahngo.
Pago Pago is the territorial capital of American Samoa. It is on the main island of American Samoa, Tutuila. The territory is served by Pago Pago International Airport at Tafuna, some 8 miles south west of Pago Pago. Tourism, entertainment, food, and tuna canning are its main industries.
The area commonly referred to as Pago Pago consists of a string of villages, each with its own village council, on the shores of Pago Pago Harbor. One of the villages is itself named Pago Pago, and in 2010 had a population of 3,656. Pago Pago may refer to the village, to the bay area or to American Samoa as a whole. The constituent villages are, in order, Utulei, Fagatogo, Malaloa, Pago Pago, Satala and Atu'u. Fagatogo is the area referred to as Town and was the seat of government until a new Executive Office Building was opened in Utulei. In Fagatoto is the Fono (Legislature), the Police Department, the Port of Pago Pago, many shops and hotels.
Tourism
---------------
Until 1980, one could experience the view of Mt. Avala by taking an aerial tramway over the harbor, but on April 17 of that year a U.S. Navy plane, flying overhead as part of the Flag Day celebrations, struck the cable; the plane crashed into a wing of the Rainmaker Hotel.[10] The tramway was repaired, but closed not long after. The tram remains unusable, although according to Lonely Planet, plans have been put forth to reopen it, but in December 2010 the cable was damaged by Tropical Cyclone Wilma, fell into the harbor and has not been repaired. Another noted view is that from the top of the pass above Aua Village on the road to Afono.[citation needed]
The Sadie Thompson Inn, on the outskirts of Pago Pago, is a hotel and restaurant that is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Jean P. Haydon Museum. A museum that showcases Samoan history, culture, and nature, it's a great place to learn about the island and become acquainted with the local culture before venturing out to other destinations. The museum features many cultural artifacts, such as clothing, art, weaponry, pottery, and tattooing. There are also artifacts from WWII. Exhibits about the island itself, including the types of plants and animals are also on display. The museum is named after the wife of the founder, who collected many of the artifacts on display in the museum.
7 Places to Visit in American Samoa- The Island of Tutuila
The islands of American Samoa have so much natural beauty that choosing just seven places to highlight was nearly impossible. I could write a whole book about all the places to visit on the main island of Tutuila (maybe I will). But for today, I’ve narrowed our list of favorites to my top seven, enough to keep you good and busy for a week. These locations are in no particular order, except for number one, it really is my favorite.

American Samoa: A tropical paradise with a modern twist!
Very remote (it takes a day and half of flying to reach these islands from Sydney), American Samoa is a spectacle of volcanic mountains towering against a backdrop of electric-blue seas and lush tropical forests. The island infrastructure is well-developed but finding a long stretch of beach to oneself or a left break to surf is as easy as falling asleep on a hammock. Reason: these islands are yet to become touristy. Snorkelling, diving, hiking, adventure sports, cultural tours – American Samoa offers a huge number of activities for international travellers and is a pristine eco-tourism haven.

Snorkeling at Palolo Deep Marine Reserve in Upolu, Samoa | Journey to the Island - Episode 1
Oh Samoa, beautiful Samoa! I snorkeled from the shore at Palolo Deep Marine Reserve to a tiny little wee island made of dead coral. Along the way I saw many varieties of fish, and went through water so deep and dark I couldn't see the bottom and water so shallow that I was gliding dangerously close to razor sharp coral. There were moments when I thought that I may get stuck on the coral. Tip for next time - go at high tide!
Palolo Deep Marine Reserve is on the outskirts of Apia town on the main island of Samoa - Upolu. Interestingly, Palolo Deep Marine Reserve shares the same name as the Samoan Palolo worm, which appears during the months of October and November, and is a popular delicacy amongst the locals.
Filmed in June 2018 in Upolu, Western Samoa while travelling through Samoa.
All shot on (including drone and underwater shots):
