Close to home, yet a world away! You will never feel like “just another tourist” on Niue, the tiny island nation a three-hour flight from Auckland. That’s because, with only about 90 guest rooms, there are often more whales visiting in season than human visitors!
Niue, south of Samoa and east of Fiji, is one of the world’s largest raised coral atolls and is home to only about 1500 permanent and hospitable residents and it is one of those places where everyone still wave to each other & you’ll find generous hearted, welcoming people living at a gentle pace in a pristinely clean, politically stable environment. It’s free of all commercial pressure and even free of traffic lights.
There’s no such word as rush-hour on Niue, it’s one of the world’s safest destinations and you don’t need foreign exchange – Niue uses the Kiwi dollar.
A quarter of the island is clothed in pristine rainforest, and a great way to explore it and perhaps encounter a cloud of butterflies is on a guided walk. Almost the entire island is surrounded by 20m to 30m cliffs so dramatic beautiful chasms and coves provide perfect swimming spots. Niue is also honeycombed with some of the South Pacific’s most spectacular and extensive caves. The island is encircled by a 50km coastal road so bikes are a great way to get around, although you can also hire a car.
Time your visit with one of the 14 village show day festivals and you can join the locals for a day of feasting, dancing and music and to snap up the Niueans’ wonderful weaving. Diving and snorkeling around Niue’s coast is renowned for is water clarify and the richness of its marine life. Swimming with humpback whales is unforgettable and thanks to Niue’s deep surrounding waters, you can sip a cocktail and marvel at these awesome giants breaching just 50 metres from shore.
