Aunuʻu Island

Aunuʻu, American Samoa

Aunuʻu Island offers a quieter, more intimate island outing with wetland scenery, shore access and a strong sense of local place. The island’s defining natural feature is Faʻamulivai Marsh, the largest wetland in American Samoa, which gives this stop a different character from the more famous reef and ridge attractions elsewhere in the territory. It ranks here because it adds variety to an American Samoa trip: a small-island excursion rather than a major built attraction. The official tourism page highlights hiking, snorkelling and food traditions on the island, and the territory’s things-to-do page specifically mentions taking an alia boat from Tutuila. For visitors seeking a slower, less crowded experience, Aunuʻu is one of the best choices.
