Your Niuean tour guides will take you on a tour to some of Niue’s better known spots on the western side from Avatele to Hikutavake villages. But this is more than just a tour to show you where to go; visitors can do that on their own by hiring a car and using a good map. Your island-born guides will give you a taste of what their island is really like. They'll peel back the layers and allow a glimpse of the island’s history, the good times and the bad times, its people and language, its flora and fauna, its politics and the role of New Zealand. Allow approximately 3.5 to 4 hours. The tour departs from the Information Centre in Alofi at 8:30am and Matavai properties at 8:45am on Saturday. A swim at Matapa Chasm before heading back to your accommodation. A cold drink and a nibble is provided.
