What You Need to Know About Spending 4 Days in Niue
Things work a little differently in Niue than what you might be used to, so here are some useful things to keep in mind when planning a four-day getaway:
- Due to the limited flight schedule, you can only spend a limit of four days in Niue where you will be flying in on Tuesday and leaving Friday
- While it is possible to do most of our itineraries with airport transfers, bike hire and walking, it’s highly recommended to hire a car to allow you to get around as quickly and conveniently as possible
- With Niue being a small island, you only need to base yourself in one accommodation to easily access the rest of the island
- Check the tide timetable to see when is the best time to visit the west coast snorkelling and swimming spots – this may also determine when you visit Niue
- Note that all tours and many shops and services don’t operate on a Sunday.
