Those mountains are absolutely stunning. Such a beautiful shape to them, and the water compliments them so well.

[@NationalParkWild]

They are spectacular.

Great video! Nice, scenic national park! I enjoyed watching!

[@TravelDash]

Fantastic job visiting all 63! Like many others, I knew nothing about this national park so this was very interesting and informative. One day, when I visit, i’m sure i’ll come back to your video ✌🏻

[@NationalParkWild]

Your support is always appreciated. There is definitely a lot I didn’t know before I got to this park.

[@jymnmeier3527]

Eric, This is awesome! hank you so much for sharing and most of all CONGRATS on making it to your 63rd National Park. As I have shared with you before I am trying to take my wo daughters to all 63. We just got back from parks #9-12 (Pinnacles, Channel Islands,Joshua Tree and Death Valley). All were amazing. None of us had the desert parks high on our most anticipated list but were blown away by them all. We love ranking and making lists on just about every topic but boy ae we having a tough tome with the NP's. They are all so amazing :) I have a couple of vidoe ideas (no worries if you don't go with them) One would be a list of the best criteria to rank the NP's. After reviewing so many lists I thought it would be neat to compile what ecertone uses to rank their parks. My list currently uses... 1. Scenery, 2.Trails, 3. Wildlife(potential ands seen) 4.Diversity of Exosystems, 5. Visitor Center and 6. Immersiveness (Once in the park do we feel we are just there. Yellowstone is immersive while Redwood you have to drive through communities to get to different units. Mount Rainier is immersive while Olympic you have to travel through Port Angeles a bit to get to different parts etc.) The Second idea would be a list of your most anticiapted parks to REVISIT. Parks that you want to give a second chance for whatever reason and/or parks you just love so much you kave to go back

[@John-nw9jc]

Wow, the colors!! Such a unique place. Hope to go there some day.

[@XiongBearTravel]

Another great and beautiful video Eric! How would you rank American Samoa on your top 63 list? You said it was one of the best but would it be up there in your top 5 or top 10?

[@NationalParkWild]

You will find out in an upcoming video ;)

[@vaotawa9884]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

[@NationalParkWild]

It was a pleasure to make this.

[@heichan8657]

I am not an American but i discover your channel a few days ago and it really makes me want to go to some of these remarkable national park! My country dont really have a lot to offer so it is really nice to see how nice the landscape and nature is in the usa.

[@NationalParkWild]

I really appreciate that and I’m happy to share these places with you.

[@spinlok3943]

Place looks awesome! congrats for seeing all 63, now just gotta wait until 64 is declared. Perhaps Craters of the Moon or Delaware Water Gap?

[@NationalParkWild]

Both of those are great candidates.

[@timesurfingalien]

I was on the crew that rebuilt the television tower and restored programming. We also rebuilt the cable car over the harbor. Most beautiful place ive ever been

[@NationalParkWild]

That’s amazing. Tutuila is an amazing place.

[@AmericasParks]

Congratulations on reaching all 63, Eric! Doubt I'll ever make it to this one so it was nice seeing it though your camera and verbal description. Beautiful place!

[@NationalParkWild]

Thank you, Randy. Your support along this journey has meant so much.

[@fatimaolad7616]

Hii

[@shhsGGU]

Hello eric! As a guy who lives in American samoa, tafuna, I can definitely confirm that I see these most days! Thank you for visiting my home nation!!

[@NationalParkWild]

Thanks for your comment! It was wonderful to visit American Samoa.

[@kamakoa]

Beautiful

[@NationalParkWild]

Absolutely

[@kirichamberlin8988]

AND no snakes ! Awesome video review !

[@NationalParkWild]

Thank you!

[@muddtheboss415]

10:55 Did I just see a crab with a snail shell?? Great video btw, I really want to go there. The views and corals are amazing.

[@NationalParkWild]

Yes you did, and thank you!

[@harlow743]

Outstanding Beauty

[@NationalParkWild]

Absolutely.

[@facts-a-lot624]

😂that is so funny because there no street names there to guide you on where to go,it'll be this village and that village. And seeing Eric explaining the directions of how to blunt point takes me back. You'll see someone pulling asking for directions and you'll be like when you get to that green house with a cement fence in front you make a left keep going until you'll a mango tree on your left with probably than go straight til you'll hit the wall...lol

[@NationalParkWild]

Getting around was always an adventure for sure.

[@donbaldwin1777]

Been there many times. Best one was getting the hell out of there

[@Lisa-Tahiti]

How did you get there? What airline did you take and once there how did you get around? Rent a car? This park looks so beautiful. I have a great love for the South Pacific. Some of the best scenery on the planet. I hope I will be fortunate enough some day to be able to visit this paradise.

[@NationalParkWild]

I flew Hawaiian Airlines from Honolulu to Pago Pago and I did rent a car.

[@BobBarkerIsOld]

Hawaiian only flies twice a week to Pago Pago, only from Honolulu, and only on Monday and Thursday.

[@MajoraZ]

Hey, would you happen to know where/who I should reach out to regarding the copyright status of images on displays and signs at US national parks and monuments? I work with some history and archaeology channels on Indigenous and Precolumbian topics and there's some artwork on National Park and National monument displays depicting artistic reconstructions of Cliff Dwellings, towns, and earthen pyramids i'm curious about: As far as I can tell if the NPS itself holds the image rights, the images should be public domain, but i'm wanting to verify that and it's not just the original artist allowing the NPS to use the image while the artist retain the image rights.

[@NationalParkWild]

I unfortunately have no knowledge on that. I’m sorry.

[@normiewoo787]

Wow, you said American Samoa is one of the best National Parks?! I'm looking forward to that upcoming video. I'm curious, too... where does the snorkeling rank, compared to the obvious places like Channel Islands, Virgin Islands, Biscayne, Dry Tortugas, etc.?

[@NationalParkWild]

I’d say it’s my favorite snorkeling of any national park

[@shady8585]

Sir what's ur whole name frl love ur content 🇦🇸❤️❤️🤝

[@thepretzel2]

Does the NP make up ALL of American Samoa or just a portion of it?

[@NationalParkWild]

It makes up some of the islands and only a portion of Tutuila.

[@lonisetauoa5624]

Did anyone catch the couple on the 6:25 mark? Lol

[@agneshakai3629]

😮

[@cosminmarin8654]

Could you tell us if any dangerous wildlife is there? e.g. snakes, sharks. Thanks!

[@NationalParkWild]

I think the only concern would be feral dogs. They may nip at your heels but shouldn’t cause any actual harm. It’s best to try to ignore them.

[@TheAndyk123]

I just got back from AS. There are no snakes on the island at all and they keep it that way. If you bring a snake onto the island, it's a felony that you can go to prison for. Like @NationalParkWild said, there are a lot of feral dogs, but 99% of them that I encountered were very chill. We didn't see any sharks but there could possibly be some. The crabs might try to claw you if you harass them, but if you just take pictures and move on they'll never bother you. I heard from a local that there is a venomous type of centipede there but I didn't see any myself. Other than the bats and birds mentioned in the video, the only other wildlife I saw was that there were tons of geckos and skinks, but they're totally harmless.

[@mativakuresa6815]

Born and raised in Pago and now I reside in Alabama. Anyways their are no snakes on the island and yes watch out for the dogs like Eric said best to ignore them.

[@BillyLydon]

Did you drink KAVA while you were there?

[@NationalParkWild]

I did not.

[@mattc4266]

Where does america Samoa land in your Rankings ?

[@NationalParkWild]

You will see soon

[@cooperstravels5725]

Hopefully the owners of the pink house don't decide to paint the house before I go!!

[@rubeng.madrigaljr.7047]

My mother fought for me to be an American in the school system of Long Beach or Los Angeles school system I guess and she won. I guess one day I'll go live there I'm in California.

[@rubeng.madrigaljr.7047]

Alright my grandma used to work with star kids canneries I wonder where house still smells like tuna

[@rubeng.madrigaljr.7047]

[@rubeng.madrigaljr.7047]

[@rubeng.madrigaljr.7047]

Thank you for the blunts to wrap the tobacco or the marijuana in

[@adammiles9092]

Dont tell ppl to go to cape tapu tapu, its is extremely difficult to get to and can be very dangerous. Also, we have 2 species of flying foxes in American Samoa. One glides more, one flaps more. Those are different species.

[@NationalParkWild]

A. I agree about the cape itself, but the surrounding area that was easier to get to was worth visiting. B. Thank you for. The information on the bats.

[@rubeng.madrigaljr.7047]

Is quit FORKING around
