Captain Cook definitely had it wrong when he named the island of Niue the "Savage Island." This small tropical island is anything but.
A true hidden getaway, Niue is a land for adventure. Where else would you be encouraged to swim with friendly snakes in sparkling waters?
Not your typical tropical paradise, Niue is one of the world's largest coral atolls. With few beaches, it is a diver's paradise. Buried grottoes, pools and caverns are perfect for exploration.
Wait until low tide at Hio Beach and walk across the reef to an ideal snorkeling pool. A winding chasm of tropical fish and coral, the small overhangs, caves and swim-throughs seclude you from the rest of the world.
The village of Hakupu welcomes you to enjoy their traditional fiafia night. This night of feasting and dance will show you what life on a tropical island is all about. Relax after a delicious traditional meal and let the Niueans entertain you with vibrant music and colorful dances.
Niue offers the best of a tropical island—few tourists, friendly people and beautiful sights waiting to be explored.
