Welcome to <strong>Niue</strong> & Map<br />
Welcome to niue<br />
Close to home, yet a world apart…<strong>Niue</strong> is unique amongst the islands of the south-west Pacific Ocean and is almost at its<br />
geographical heart. Just a three and a half hour flight from Auckland, this tropical island is as close as Sydney. Peaceful, safe,<br />
utterly unpolluted and uncommercialised, this independent nation is perhaps the most unspoiled “main” island in the Pacific and is<br />
over 4 times larger than Rarotonga, but with a mere fraction of the population. What’s more, <strong>Niue</strong>’s a wonderland bursting with all<br />
sorts of amazing natural adventures, on land and under water. It’s addictive, as those who discover it keep going back for more.<br />
<strong>Travel</strong> Tips<br />
Must See & Do<br />
• Climate: <strong>Niue</strong> is tropical, warm during the day with a pleasant drop in<br />
temperature at night. Like all South Pacific tropical islands, <strong>Niue</strong> has two<br />
seasons. The dry season is from April to November and the wet season<br />
from December to March.<br />
• Currency: The NZ Dollar is the legal tender. There are electronic banking<br />
facilities on the island. Kiwibank is located in Alofi (opening April 2013<br />
replacing Bank of South Pacific). The visitor information centre offer a<br />
credit card payment facility for most tours and attractions. It is a good idea<br />
to carry cash for restaurants and smaller purchases.<br />
• Language: <strong>Niue</strong>an and English is spoken throughout <strong>Niue</strong>.<br />
• Electricity: 240 Volts, 50 cycles. <strong>Niue</strong> has 3 pin power outlets identical to<br />
that of New Zealand.<br />
• Clothing: Visitors to <strong>Niue</strong> need a light tropical wardrobe year round with a<br />
light sweater for the cooler evenings. Take a sun hat, reef shoes and strong<br />
walking shoes to explore <strong>Niue</strong> safely.<br />
• Drinking Water: Water is safe to drink. Drinking water is from natural<br />
spring and rainwater, but there is bottled water available.<br />
• Medical Services: There is a hospital with 24-hour on call service.<br />
No vaccinations are required. Coral cuts can cause infections so take<br />
antiseptic cream. Sun block is essential.<br />
• Duty Free: Each visitor to <strong>Niue</strong> 18 years and over may bring in 3 x 1125ml<br />
bottle of spirits, or 3x 1125ml bottles of wine, or 3x 1125ml bottles of<br />
liqueur, or a combination of each provided that it does not exceed 3.5 litres<br />
or 8 litres of beer (beer cans only, no bottles) and 1x carton of cigarettes<br />
(200 cigarettes) or 250gms of tobacco. There is also a local duty free store.<br />
Dolphin & Whale Encounters: Watch these magnificent creatures<br />
<br />
either from the shore as they perform for you or get closer to nature<br />
and let Dive <strong>Niue</strong> take you out on an experience of a lifetime. The<br />
experience of being up close and personal with these natural wonders<br />
will overwhelm you!<br />
Explore the caves: Don’t miss out on exploring the magnificent<br />
<br />
caves of <strong>Niue</strong>. Abundant in numbers you’ll even find spectacular<br />
underwater caves which are dwarfed by the ones you’ll be able to<br />
explore on land.<br />
Spend a day at the Limu Natural Pools: Here you will find some of<br />
<br />
<strong>Niue</strong>’s best swimming and snorkelling!<br />
Visit the famous Cinder Block Missionary Church: Experience a<br />
<br />
traditional Sunday church service and hear the unique and wonderful<br />
sounds of Pacific church harmony.<br />
Souvenirs: The <strong>Niue</strong>an women are renowned for their incredible<br />
<br />
weaving artistry and skill. Be sure to have one of them weave a<br />
souvenir that you can take home with you or purchase one from one<br />
of the local shops, BUT be quick! They vanish quickly.<br />
3<br />
• Entry Requirements: Visas are not required, passports are essential, and<br />
genuine tourists are given a free 30-day tourist visa upon arrival provided<br />
you have an onward ticket. People wishing to stay for more than 30 days<br />
must apply before arriving as extensions are available upon application to<br />
the Immigration Office.<br />
• Shopping: Supermarket and stores are located in Alofi and stock a large<br />
range of groceries, frozen goods and hardware. Most shops are open<br />
from 9.00am to 4.00pm, Monday to Friday and 1.00pm to 6.00pm on<br />
Saturdays. Market days are every Tuesday and Friday – early.<br />
• Departure Tax: There is a departure tax of NZD$34 per person.<br />
Children under 12 years of age are exempt.<br />
• <strong>Niue</strong>an Culture: <strong>Niue</strong>ans are proud people who still honour and nurture a<br />
culture rich in age-old traditions and ceremonies. Religion is an important<br />
part of the <strong>Niue</strong>an culture. Sunday is a day of rest and worship and visitors<br />
are asked to be considerate of the local Sunday observances. You may<br />
play golf, or go sightseeing but fishing, boating and diving must not be<br />
undertaken. Drive slowly, wave to all the drivers, because they will all wave<br />
at you! – and always stop to let the crabs cross the road!<br />

change conditions e.g. 5th night free. Bonus offers: e.g. free<br />
upgrade or late checkouts are subject to availability at time of<br />
stay.<br />
5. Prices<br />
5.1 All prices shown in this brochure are on a per person basis<br />
unless otherwise stated and are expressed in New Zealand<br />
dollars. Vehicle rates are per vehicle.<br />
5.2 Events beyond our control, such as currency fluctuations,<br />
changes to the price of aviation fuel or changes to the cost of<br />
services and facilities may result in the prices charged to you<br />
being different.<br />
5.3 It must be understood that if for any of the reasons mentioned<br />
in Clause 5.2 price increases or variation of terms are notified<br />
to us between the time of booking and departure, we reserve<br />
the right to vary the price to you up to the time of your<br />
departure.<br />
5.4 Prices are based on a composite package of land and air<br />
content. If one only is sought a different basis of cost will apply.<br />
5.5 All prices exclude travel agent service fees.<br />
6. Payment<br />
6.1 A deposit of $100 must be paid to your travel agent within<br />
seven (7) days of verbal or written confirmation of booking<br />
request. Certain Suppliers may also require an additional<br />
booking fee or deposit to be paid.<br />
6.2 A booking requested less than seven (7) days prior to departure<br />
may incur communication charges.<br />
6.3 Final payment shall in all cases by made not less than 30 days<br />
prior to departure. In some cases the terms of the tour or travel<br />
may require full payment at an earlier date. In that case you will<br />
be advised at the time your booking is processed.<br />
6.4 Credit Card not permitted unless travel agent acts as merchant.<br />
7. Amendment or Cancellation<br />
7.1 If you wish, or circumstances require you to amend or cancel<br />
your booking for any reason, you should advise us in writing<br />
through your travel agent at the earliest possible time.<br />
7.2 Where you cancel any booking more than thirty (30) days prior<br />
to your departure you are likely to have to pay a fee. A<br />
cancellation fee of $200 will be imposed where cancellation is<br />
made within thirty (30) days prior to your departure, plus any<br />
suppliers charges as per note 7.3. Please refer however to<br />
Clause 7.6 for special conditions in some cases.<br />
7.3 The above cancellation fees are required to offset booking,<br />
communication and administration charges that will have<br />
already been incurred by us. In addition to our cancellation fee,<br />
you may also be required to pay cancellation fees imposed by<br />
our Suppliers (i.e. airlines, hotels, etc.) The amount of each<br />
Supplier’s cancellation fee is beyond our control, and payment<br />
is solely your responsibility. You should check with your travel<br />
agent concerning the amount of a Supplier’s cancellation fees.<br />
7.4 To the extent that we are able to do so (bearing in mind we are<br />
dependent upon third party availability beyond our control) we<br />
will be pleased to incorporate any reasonable changes you<br />
request. An itinerary change may attract a fee similar to<br />
cancellation fees in Clause 7.2 above to cover our<br />
administration costs.<br />
7.5 Some Suppliers may reserve the right to cancel or amend<br />
travel, accommodation, etc and GO Holidays must therefore<br />
reserve similar rights to cancel or amend any holiday<br />
arrangements.<br />
7.6 There are cases where the terms of supply as to refundability of<br />
pre-payments require provisions different from the above. In<br />
those cases the conditions specific to your tour will be advised<br />
to you at the time your booking is processed.<br />
8. Insurance<br />
We strongly recommend that as a minimum you insure yourself<br />
fully against cancellation, disruption, loss of luggage and<br />
personal property, and medical expenses. Your travel agent will<br />
be able to provide you with further information.<br />
9. Items Not Covered<br />
Unless otherwise specified, the cost of meals, drinks, laundry,<br />
telephone calls, insurance, sightseeing tours, local taxes,<br />
airport departure taxes, aviation insurance levies and passport<br />
or visa application fees are not included.<br />
10. Package Costs<br />
Included in the tour costs are charges for normal booking<br />
procedure costs, communication costs, administration,<br />
research, printing, etc. Where the land arrangements of<br />
holidays are included in a composite package, an itemisation of<br />
costs will not be rendered.<br />
11. Visas / Passports<br />
For all holidays in this brochure you will require a valid<br />
passport. You are responsible for arranging your own passport,<br />
visa and health requirements (including inoculation where<br />
applicable). You should check with your travel agent who will<br />
be able to provide you with the necessary information.<br />
12. Non-Use of Services or Facilities<br />
If, of your own choice, you decide not to use part or parts of<br />
the arranged services or facilities, you will not be entitled to a<br />
refund from us (provided we have carried out our service with<br />
reasonable skill and care and to your requirements) and you<br />
may not be entitled to a refund from any Supplier.<br />
13. GO Holidays Charter for Addressing Problems<br />
In the event that you should strike a problem or you are<br />
dissatisfied with some aspect of the services or facilities during<br />
the course of your trip, our recommendation is that you take<br />
the matter up directly with the supplier of the service at the<br />
time, or as soon as practicable in the circumstances. This<br />
provides the opportunity to have the matter discussed and<br />
investigated on the spot and a remedy negotiated then and<br />
there to enable you to continue enjoying your holiday. We have<br />
found from experience that it is very difficult (in some countries<br />
impossible) for us to obtain redress for you once travel has<br />
been completed. If this does not work, we wish to be involved<br />
at the earliest possible moment and our commitment is that we<br />
will immediately work on resolving the issue to your<br />
satisfaction.<br />
14. Health or Disability<br />
Some Suppliers may reserve the right to refuse to carry or<br />
accommodate people who, because of a health condition or<br />
disability, may require services or facilities to be provided in a<br />
special manner or at a certain stage of pregnancy. You should<br />
check this with your travel agent.<br />
15. Legal Claims<br />
The laws of New Zealand will govern any claims or legal action<br />
in connection with the provision of our services to you. Any<br />
claim or legal action against the Suppliers is likely to be subject<br />
to the terms of your contract with them, and may be governed<br />
by the laws of other countries.<br />
