Aunu'u Island - Hiking American Samoa part 2

Aunu'u Island National Natural Landmark is a small island reached by catching a 20 minute boat ride from the village of Au'asi on Tutuila. Our group hiked a 4-mile loop around the entire island while contending with rainy weather and overgrown brush. But the sun came out long enough for us to enjoy the most spectacular sights on the island. Also included is a hiking map showing our route around Aunu'u Island. Part 2 of 6 of our video series Hiking American Samoa. Filmed on June 17, 2023 during our 2nd trip to American Samoa and 7th trip to the South Pacific.

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.

Adventures In Samoa - Leaving Aunuu

Crossing from Aunu'u to Auasi in a small motorboat in 1991 on an average day. Somehow I miss the big old longboats of the 1960's. There were 6 or eight rowers, a steering oar in the stern, and as many as a dozen passengers. There was a wonderful sound of the oars all going click-chunk in unison, and someone calling out now and then, Malo i fa'auli!

Aunuu hike

A volcanic cinder cone off the southern coast of Tutuila in the Samoan Archipelago. Aunu'u's diversity is highlighted by rapidly changing micro environments, wetland taro, a crater lake and a mangrove environment. The ways of life remained unchanged in a static portrait of Samoan culture.
