  • October sees the end of the dry season and the beginning of the wet season, so the weather is not too hot or humid, but there could be some rain (so it's a good idea to pack a light raincoat or umbrella just in case).

    The average high temperature is around 25 - 27°C , while the average temperature at night is around 16 - 18°C.

  • Welcome Function: Smart Casual (outdoors)

    Casual Dinner: Smart Casual

    Conference: Novus shirt with pants or jeans

    Locals are very religious so wearing respectful clothing is quite important to them. With this in mind, avoid wearing swimwear outside of the swimming areas or the resort.  We ask that you do not to wear overly revealing attire.

  • Check in is from 2.00pm and you will need to vacate your room by 10.00am on the day of departure.

  • The actual time will be the same, but a day behind; eg 5pm on Saturday in Niue is 5pm at home.

  • There is NO public transport available on island, but we will have transfers for anything in the event programme (eg pre booked activities/tours, dinner, partners programme and airport transfers).

    If you are extending your stay in Niue, we strongly recommend you hire a car or bicycle for your stay to ensure you can access all of Niue’s scenic sites and villages.

    Make sure your NZ Drivers License is current if renting a car, you will also need a local driver’s license from the Police Department. Do not leave it too late to book your rental car, Victoria Wales can help with this.

  • On “The Rock of the Pacific,” Niue’s beaches might surprise you. While they differ from the soft golden sands of other South Pacific islands, Niue’s coral beaches (made up of shells and coral remnants) are charming in their own right. Picturesque and often secluded, these beaches offer a tranquil escape well worth exploring.

    Simply look out for the sea track signs marked “Hala Tahi [Beach Name]” and let the adventure begin!

    We do recommend if you plan t explore the beaches to take reef shoes with you.

  • The current Niue Duty Free allowances and what you can bring into the country are here

    Planning for your return trip home with Duty Free purchases? Here are your limits

  • Niue has Telecom Niue. NZ Providers with global roaming do not work on the island. So it is time to turn off and relax. If you can’t then you will need to purchase a sim card from Telecom Niue to be able to use your phone (or use WiFi only and connect via What’s App, Messanger etc).

  • The current in Niue is the same as in New Zealand - 240 volts AC 50Hz with 3 pin power points. Feel free to take your own electrical appliances as required.

  • Niue uses NZ currency and has a KiwiBank, though no ATM’s. Most businesses take physical (ie not digital cards on phone) eft-pos and debit cards issued by New Zealand banks, but I recommend bringing a small amount of cash with you - hey you will use it back in NZ.

  • There is a Niue Consumer Tax (NCT) on all goods and services in Niue of 12.5%.

  • Tipping for good service is not expected in Niue but is most certainly appreciated.
