Board your colorful open-air bus and begin a fantastic half-day island adventure. From Pago Pago, drive southwest past a series of small bays and traditional Samoan villages. Each village prominently features an elevated Fale. This oval shaped, open-sided thatched roof structure serves as the meeting house for the village council.

Continue on past the Lyndon B. Johnson Tropical Medical Center, and Nuuuli Village. You will also pass Lava Lava, American Samoa's golf course, and Fatu-ma-Futi or "Flowerpot Rock," on your way to Leone. Your bus will stop for a photo at this local landmark that guards the entrance to Pago Pago Bay.

Finally, arrive at a traditional Samoan village and home. Enjoy local island music and watch a traditional cooking demonstration using the umu, or ground oven. Afterwards, join your hosts and sample the cooked dishes. Relax, and savor this unique opportunity to participate in traditional Samoan culture.

On your return drive to the ship, stop for a photo at the First Missionary Monument. The Monument celebrates the work of John Williams of the London Missionary Society, and his efforts to bring Christianity to Samoa.
