Travel advice for American Samoa

Petty crime occurs, tidal changes in coastal lagoons can cause fatal swimming accidents, and cyclones may cause power outages, water shortages, and rationing. Avoid walking alone after dark, follow local warnings, and drive defensively, especially in rural areas, where roads and visibility may be hazardous. Public transport is available on Tutuila but not the Manu’a Islands.
