O Le Pupu-Puʿe National Park

The park encompasses 2,850 hectares of terrain, stretching from Mount Fito at 1,100 meters down to coastal lava rock cliffs named Le Pupu.

Established in 1978, O Le Pupu-Pu'e became the first national park in the South Pacific region, marking a milestone in conservation efforts.

The national park protects the teuila flower, Alpinia purpurata, which grows in the volcanic soil and holds status as Samoa's national flower.

Visitors can access the park daily from 7 AM to 6 PM through the South Coast Road using local buses, taxis, or organized tours.

The Pe'ape'a lava tube caves within the park provide shelter for White-rumped Swiftlets and require a three-hour round trip hike to explore.
