Niue
Niue, the “Rock of Polynesia,” is a coral island nation in free association with New Zealand, known for caves, chasms, crystal-clear water and whale watching.
Niue lies in the South Pacific and is one of the world's largest raised coral islands. It is in free association with New Zealand, and its capital is Alofi. The island has no broad sandy beaches; its coast is made up of limestone cliffs, dotted with caves and natural swimming pools such as Matapa Chasm, Talava Arches and Limu Pools. The water has exceptional visibility, ideal for snorkeling and diving. Humpback whales come to breed from around July to October and can often be seen from shore. Niue is also certified as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary. May to October is the cooler dry season. The main way to get here is by flight from Auckland to Niue International Airport.
