Niue

This tranquil island paradise is the Pacific's best-kept secret

Niue

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.

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.

I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and experiencing the best of Washington DC.

My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and preference!

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of your next adventure.
