Known as a destination for those who want to experience the wild side of nature, Palau is a playground for hikers, divers and intrepid souls. It’s a leader in sustainable tourism, launching the world-first Palau Pledge in 2017.

Palau harbors a diverse environment and an ancient island culture. It is a world-renowned premier diving destination, known to be one of the seven underwater wonders of the world. This pristine paradise hosts landscapes brimming with hidden caves, historical World War II sites, waterfalls and diverse flora and fauna.

As you embark on your journey through Palau, you’ll find yourself captivated not only by its breathtaking natural wonders but also by the dynamic and enduring spirit of its people.

Niue is serviced by Air New Zealand via a quick 3 ½ hour flight from Auckland and uses the NZ dollar.

Visitors have their choice of small private beaches, lagoons and swimming caves where the likelihood of someone disturbing you is almost nil and are great for snorkeling.  Cave systems and various walks are found all over the Island that can be explored with ease via signposted tracks, many with well-maintained showers and toilets. Niue is also the world’s only Dark Sky Nation!

As the world’s largest raised coral atoll Niue has a spectacular reef which drops to deep ocean just metres from shore. Because of this you will start game fishing the moment you hit the water chasing the big one.

Niue has the clearest visibility in all of the Pacific at up to 80 metres! The local dive operator offers a range of scuba diving options and daily snorkel tours, often swimming with Niue’s resident spinner dolphins and Humpback Whales (July-Sept). This is one of the only places in the world you can do this! 

As they say you will arrive as a visitor and leave as a friend.  It’s warm, very safe and has no traffic or queues – The way life used to be, the way life should be!
