- Niue has a limited weekly flight schedule so plan your itinerary accordingly – all of our itineraries give an extra day for departure
- Niue is a relatively small island, so basing yourself in the same accommodation for the entire two weeks is typically more convenient than changing accommodations
- With limited transport on the island, hiring a car or an e-bike is highly recommended
