Niue is known for its rocky terrain and extreme landscape which is perfect for adventure travelers. There is only one sand beach on the island, but the rest of the island’s shoreline is covered in caves, reefs, and chasms.

Popular sites to go explore are Avaiki, Matapa Chasm, Limu and Togo Chasm. These spots provide opportune places for snorkeling and swimming.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Niue:

• Swimsuit and other swimming gear if you plan to snorkel.
• Water shoes, especially if you plan on checking out the coral reefs.
• Light rain jacket (sometimes the weather can be unpredictable)
• Prescriptions and medicine as it may be hard to find due to the remote nature of Niue.
• Mosquito repellent and clothing that covers bare skin to prevent mosquito bites and yellow fever.
