ROCK OF POLYNESIA
Niue is affecttionately known as "the Rock" and is reputedly the largest coral atoll in the world. It is located only 2400 km north-east of New Zealand in the centre of a triangle made up of the Polynesian islands. The island is honeycombed with caves, ringed with azure blue water and is topped by a tropical rainforest. There is an abundance of unique wildlife, birds and plants. The island is encircled by a reef, outside of which is some of the deepest water in the South Pacific.
Whilst not a large island, population or land wise, Niue offers a wide range of activities, and fascinating natural wonders. Niue is well known for its spectacular limestone caves and the many unique scenic and historical areas throughout the island. The island's isolation and coral makeup create an exciting rugged coastline and reef which provides intimate swimming coves.
