Niue

Niue. Small island, big adventure. 
Niue is not your average tropical holiday. It's a raised coral island in the South Pacific with no big beaches, just dramatic cliffs, ancient caves and swimming spots so clear they look unreal. It's an otherworldly place full of wild rock formations, chasms and pools that are made for exploring. 

Things to do in Niue are all about the water. Snorkel at Matapa Chasm, swim through caves, or dive straight into some of the clearest ocean you've ever seen. The island rises directly out of the sea, so the water clarity is unreal and perfect for diving, fishing and whale watching when the humpbacks swing by between July and September. Back on land, hike through forest tracks, explore the Talava Arches, or find a tide pool and stay there for a while. 

And the best part? It's one of the easiest getaways you'll ever take. It's just 3.5 hours from New Zealand, they use NZ dollars, there are no visas or customs hold-ups, and it's all smoother than your average long weekend. With Grabaseat fares, your wallet might think you're just catching the bus. 

Niue is raw, relaxed and nothing like anywhere else. Pack reef shoes, bring your appetite for adventure, and get ready for crystal clear everything.
