Niue Island |
An eco-tourist’s paradise, Niue is blessed with a wonderful year-round climate
and a plethora of natural attractions to create a diverse holiday itinerary. The
rugged coastline is framed by tropical rainforest that boasts a spectacular
array of fl ora and fauna, including butterflies and bird life and an abundance
of bougainvillaea, frangipani, hibiscus and orchids, providing the perfect
backdrop for leisurely activities like fishing, biking and bush walking.
As one of the largest raised coral atolls in the world, spectacular
opportunities abound in the waters around Niue. A series of reefs, canyons and
caverns sculpted beneath the surface teem with the brilliant colour and
diversity of fish life, and provide an exhilarating and memorable experience for
novice or pro divers. The island’s clear, shallow water is also perfect for
simple snorkelling trips. And although there are none of the classical sandy
beaches typical of other Polynesian islands, you can easily find some tiny,
intimate little stretches and swimming coves where you might find you’re the
only people there all day.
With a population of only 1,800, Niue has an island charm that is maintained by
friendly, welcoming locals. Even the transport options are relaxed – although
there is no public transport, a handful of taxis service the island and hire
cars are reasonably priced, however most visitors prefer to get around on a hire
bike or scooter. There is a limited choice of accommodation but most price
ranges are covered, from budget-priced self-catering apartments to the Matavai
Resort, Niue’s premier accommodation venue which boasts breathtaking sea views –
in season, guests can sit at their dining table and watch whales frolic in the
ocean!
A holiday in Niue allows for quality bonding time together away from the hustle
and bustle of modern city life, and the island is a popular honeymoon
destination for couples seeking tranquil, relaxing surrounds. Marriage
ceremonies can best be co-ordinated through the Niue Tourism Office in Alofi -
give them time to ensure your needs can be catered for and you will be rewarded
with a unique and romantic island experience
