Learn moreHow to Pronounce Pago PagoThis is a fun subject because there are so many misinterpretations of the correct way to pronounce Pago Pago. We will focus on the way it is pronounced by the majority of people in American Samoa because, after all, that is where Pago Pago is located.Quite simply, it is easy to describe how to pronounce Pago Pago by telling people to think of the Bongo drum and just replace the “B” in Bongo with a P for Pago and then just repeat.Now you might ask how the “n” got in there. Well, that’s easy. The Samoan sound for “g” is pronounced “ng” with the emphasis on “n”. In some cases, you can barely hear the “g” sound at all.Learn moreExplore the IslandsPlan your trip and decide what you want to see.Try our great sightseeing mapFind places you might want to see and learn more aboutClick HereExplore the National ParkYou will find beauty and many things that exist nowhere else on Earth.Visit the National Park officeLearn about the park and schedule activities.Click HereTry a self-guided tourSee if you can find the picture above.Use Your Phone or ComputerClick the button below to find some great ways to spend a day.
