About the island

Niue is a large upraised coral atoll, and is a standalone land mass in the centre of a triangle of Polynesian islands made up of Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands. We’re located 2400km north east of New Zealand, on the eastern side of the international dateline.

The island’s isolation and coral origins create an exciting coastline. With no rivers or lakes on the island, we are rewarded with crystal clear water year round. The entire island is dotted with a myriad of caves, sheltered rocky coves and secret beaches, some of which have yet to be explored.

With an average temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, the water off Niue is perfect for snorkelling all year round.
