Safety Details

The main thing to be concerned about when visiting the American Samoa is sun protection. If you plan on spending time on the beach, be sure to wear adequate amounts of sunscreen, bring a hat, and wear protective clothing. Additionally, be aware of the changing tides and the currents of the ocean. Only attempt to swim if you are aware and capable. Also, don't touch the coral! Coral cuts can get infected easily and take a long time to heal. If for some reason you need medical attention, the closest treatment is in Tutuila. Even though there is care available here, it is limited. If you were in need of serious medical care, you would need to be flown to Hawaii, Australia, or New Zealand.
