点评:We visited the two NP in Hawaii. A 6 hour flight from
HNL brings you to American Samoa. It’s a very unique experience from other NP. It is remote and the trails are not maintained like the states. We started at the visitor center and was provided very helpful map laying out all the points of interest on the island. One surprising fact, as many of these points of interest were difficult to locate. There’s no clearly marked parking many times you’re on personal property in which you have to ask the owners will pay the owners to be on the property. For example, we went hiking at FAGETLE Bay at the sanctuary came up to the chain across it and learned from the neighbor we had to honk for somebody to come let us in. We paid $10 per person to go down to the Bay Area to snorkel. Unfortunately the waves are very high. We’re not able to see much in the area, but we imagine it would be quite beautiful on a calmer day.
We found the people to be very friendly and helpful.
Because it is so remote and economically struggling a bit, there are not many services such as hotels and restaurants.
The island is easy to navigate if you rent a car. Expect not to be in a hurry and be on island time speed limits are about 20 miles an hour. We found our self on back roads that were not paved/dirt in order to get to some of the landmark areas.
Definitely recommend going to the turtle and shark area by the ocean.
there are dogs and roosters all over the island.
We came to snorkel, and unfortunately, the days we were here the seas were so rough and snorkeling did not provide any good visuals
翻译:我们游览了夏威夷的两个国家公园。从檀香山机场 (HNL) 出发,飞行 6 小时即可抵达美属萨摩亚。与其他国家公园相比,这里别具一格。它地处偏远,步道维护也不如美国本土。我们首先来到游客中心,工作人员提供了一张非常有用的地图,标明了岛上所有景点。令人惊讶的是,很多景点都很难找到。这里没有明确的停车标志,很多时候你都会进入私人领地,需要征得主人的同意并付费才能进入。例如,我们在保护区内的法格特尔湾 (FAGETLE Bay) 徒步旅行,走到对面的铁链旁时,才从邻居那里得知,必须按喇叭才能有人来开门。我们每人支付了 10 美元下到海湾浮潜。可惜的是,海浪很大。我们没能看到什么,但我们想象如果风平浪静的话,这里应该会非常美丽。
我们觉得当地人非常友好热情。
由于地处偏远,经济也略显落后,岛上酒店和餐厅等服务设施并不多。
如果租车,岛上交通十分便利。建议您放慢脚步,享受悠闲的岛屿时光,因为限速约为每小时 20 英里。为了前往一些地标性景点,我们不得不行驶在未铺设路面的土路上。
强烈推荐前往海边的海龟和鲨鱼观赏区。
岛上到处都是狗和公鸡。
我们来这里是为了浮潜,但遗憾的是,我们停留的几天海浪很大,根本看不到什么景象。
