Niue

What to do in Niue?

Niue is known as 'the rock' in some circles (no relation to Alcatraz) for good reason. The country is one of the world's largest coral islands, with steep limestone cliffs rising 60 meters out of the surrounding coral reef.

Air New Zealand has flights to Niue from Auckland with connections from Wellington, Christchurch and the entire domestic network.

Niue is known as 'the rock' in some circles (no relation to Alcatraz) for good reason. The country is one of the world's largest coral islands, with steep limestone cliffs rising 60 meters out of the surrounding coral reef.

As a result it's an otherworldly place full of amazing rock formations, caves and crystal clear swimming holes. Because it rises directly out of the ocean, the water clarity makes it ideal for diving, fishing and whale watching.

And despite being such an exotic and unique place, it's the easiest trip you'll ever take. It's just 3.5 hours away, they spend NZ dollars, there's no customs restrictions or visas. It's kind of like catching the bus. And with Grabaseat, when your wallet sees the prices, it will think you're catching the bus too.
