Sir Robert Rex Wharf

Alofi Wharf

The island's only wharf. Whale-watching, whale swimming, diving and fishing boats depart from here, and dolphins are often seen nearby.

Alofi Wharf (Sir Robert Rex Wharf) is Niue's only port facility. With no natural harbor, boats are lifted by crane and lowered into the sea. From July to October, humpback whale season, licensed operators run whale-watching trips from here, and under strict conditions, visitors can swim with the whales. Diving (including the Snake Valley cave dive site), dolphin watching and deep-sea fishing trips depart here year-round. The waters beside the wharf are clear, and you may spot sea snakes, which are gentle but should not be touched.
