Introduction
The harbour of Pago Pago, made famous by Somerset Maugham’s short story Rain, is actually the crater of an extinct volcano. Upolu in neighbouring Samoa is sometimes visible. Tula Village is a traditional Samoan settlement. Situated at the far end of the eastern district of Tutuila, it overlooks a coastline of white sandy beaches and reefs that are exposed at low tide. Amanave Village is in an area renowned for the rugged beauty of its volcanic coastline. On the north coast of the island is the Forbidden Bay, claimed to be one of the most beautiful in the South Pacific. It can be reached from Fagasa on a trek or a boat trip. The traditional ‘turtle and shark’ legend is performed in Vaitogi. Mountain excursions are available at nearby Aoloau.
