The National Park of American Samoa is distributed across three separate islands: Tutuila, Ofu-Olosega, and Ta‘ū. The park includes coral reefs and rain forest and is popular for hiking, snorkeling, and scuba diving, although the primary purpose of the park is that of preservation of Samoa's unique natural resources. It is the only American national park south of the equator.

The Tutuila unit of the park is on the north end of the island near Pago Pago. It is the only part of the park accessible by car and attracts the majority of visitors. The park lands include a trail to the top of Mount Alava and historic World War II gun emplacement sites at Breakers Point and Blunt's Point.
