RSSLimestone caves, scenic beaches, and wonderful reefs located just off the main walkways are part of Niue’s charm. The historical significance of Niue is evident in its attractions.
Limu Pools
Limu has a variety of colorful coral, fish species, caves and crystal clear pool that make it one of the most beautiful swimming and snorkeling areas on the island. The water cools during low tide, the hazy effect produced by the mixture of fresh and seawater. Limu is located off a clearly marked track leading out from Namukulu Village. Thatched shelters and barbecue areas make this an ideal picnic spot.
Togo
Togo is a deep ravine located about 4 kilometers north of Hakupu. Leaving the bush path, the track from Hakupu descends through jagged coral pinnacles until reaching a little grassy flat. A passage leads off to the edge of the ravine, from the foot of which rise coconut trees that reach the rim of the ravine.
Uluvehi
This landing was used by trading schooners in the early days with the track leading down to the sea from the northeast corner of the Mutalau Village green. In 1860, a Niuean’s were transported to Chile on a Peruvian black-birder to work in the guano mines there.
Avaiki
There is a fine swimming hole in a cave north of Avaiki. This place is famous for being the landing sport of the first canoe. The area is occasionally prohibited when Kaloama, a small species of fish prized for food, are running in the pools.
Opaahi
In June 1774, Captain Cook landed at Opaahi and was met with hostility and nearly hit by a spear. However after the Marines fired a series of volleys, the Niuean reception party was forced to retreat until the landing party returned to the ship.
Beveridge Reef
This reef is located 120 miles to the south east of Niue and is largely undiscovered by tourists. It was visited late in 1998 by the vessel South Pacific Sunrise and was to be revisited as a cruise by the company but is no longer available. Explore a beautiful lagoon, an above water ship wreck and an isolated sandy bay.
