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 />

4.5 Accommodation must be consecutive at the same hotel to<br />

qualify for free nights. Important: Hotels have the right to<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 />
