No crowds, no rush, just island bliss
Imagine a tropical paradise where the only rush hour involves turtles cruising the crystal-clear waters. Welcome to Niue, where you'll always feel more like a local friend than a tourist. Just under four hours from Auckland, this island gem may surprise you, it’s actually four times bigger than Rarotonga!
Known affectionately as 'The Rock', Niue blends relaxation, adventure, and unbeatable natural beauty. With no foreign exchange needed (Niue uses Kiwi dollars), exploring this island couldn’t be easier. Journey along the spectacular 64km coastal road by bicycle or car, discovering hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, and pristine beaches.
Niue is one of the world’s largest raised coral atolls and is home to around 1600 hospitable residents.
Dive or snorkel amid these coral gardens renowned for their spectacular visibility, or glide through waters alongside gentle humpback whales during their annual visit. During season, it's not uncommon to see more whales than humans here!
So why not swap crowded beaches for secluded coves, bustling streets for lush island trails, and busy itineraries for laid-back days in one of the world’s safest and friendliest destinations?
Chat to one of our Pacific Island specialists to turn this dream into reality.

Hi all - please note that I am on maternity leave until September 2026 :)
Customer service has always been drilled into me. After begging my way
into a cafe job at 14, I then spent 12 years working in the hospitality
industry supervising restaurants and managing specialty cafes which also
founded my love for all different types of foods.
After spending 3 years in Melbourne, 6 months in South East Asia and a few
years in the UK I finally made the switch to the travel industry where I have
been able to share my love for travel and customer service ever since.
I made it through the dark years of COVID in the industry which has led me to
know to dig that little bit deeper into my clients' travel plans to create that
perfect trip, and ensure we really have the best option for you in terms of
comfort, reliability, and service. As we just don't know what is round the
corner, do we!
I've travelled extensively across Southeast Asia, UK and Europe, spent a lot of
time exploring properties in Fiji (and relaxing by the beach), road tripped in
California and in 2024 I visited South Africa in Feb, Japan, South Korea and
Taipei! I've got many more places on my bucket list to visit, but if I haven't
been, I've got a superb team of people behind me who have and we'll work out
the best trip for you! My ultimate passion when I travel is trying local foods,
and finding the best possible places to have that authentic experience that we
wouldn't be able to have at home. So if that resonates with you, I'd love to
hear from you and let's put together your foodie adventure, together :)
