Huvalu Forest Conservation Area
Huvalu
Niue's largest primeval tropical rainforest, covering about a fifth of the island. Watch for coconut crabs, fruit bats and endemic birds.
Huvalu Forest Conservation Area lies in eastern Niue. It is the island's best-preserved primeval tropical rainforest, covering about 54 square kilometers. Giant banyan trees and native hardwoods grow throughout, and you may spot coconut crabs, fruit bats, Pacific pigeons and birds found only on Niue. Some areas hold sacred significance for locals (tapu) and are off-limits. The trails to Togo Chasm and Vaikona Chasm skirt the edge of the reserve, and the road from Liku to Hakupu cuts right through the forest, making it a lovely scenic drive.
