Excursion Fagatele bay hike & snorkel tour at Pago Pago

Indulge in a beach break and enjoy a pleasant shaded hike with this nature-lover's adventure, which presents the beautiful waters of a marine sanctuary for snorkeling and swimming and offers an inviting beach for lazing and sunbathing.

Pago Pago Harbor, Flowerpot Rock

Begin as you board your open-air, island-style bus and travel to see one of the island's most noted natural landmarks, Flowerpot Rock. Rising from the waters of Pago Pago Harbor, this large rock sports a bushy carpet of vegetation sprouting from its crown that resembles a plant in a huge flowerpot, thus giving it its name, Flowerpot Rock.

Fagatele Bay, Hiking & Snorkeling

Making the 35-minute transfer to Fagatele Bay, you will take a cool, shady, 20-30 minute hike down to one of American Samoa's national marine sanctuaries. Relish time to swim or snorkel and enjoy a cold, refreshing coconut. Local fresh fruits will also be available.

After about an hour of beach time, hike back up to your awaiting bus and return to the pier with a 35-minute transfer, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Although the snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel and swim vests) is provided, it is recommended that guests bring their own snorkeling equipment and wear protective footwear, such as aqua socks. During the hike, guests will be traversing mossy rocks, loose gravel and mud. If water conditions at your scheduled snorkeling site are prohibitive, an alternate site may be substituted. Alcoholic drinks should not be consumed prior to taking part in any water activities. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. The operation of this excursion is dependent on prevailing weather conditions and may be cancelled in the event of heavy rain.
