Originally thought of as an island full of savages due to Cook thinking the locals had smeared blood over themselves when he caught sight of Niue (he in fact called it 'Savage Island' for this reason), was a protectorate of the United Kingdom before annexation by New Zealand. Niue managed to gain self-government in 1974.

Rainfall is highest between November and april with the general climate being described as tropical. So far tourism does not contribute a great deal to the Niuean economy compared to remittances from Niuean expatriates. This means that the visitor will not be standing beside thousands of others when gazing out into the azure sea. Surely in itself this would be a reason to make the trip!

The South Pacific is generally considered famous for groups of islands like French Polynesia and the Cook Islands. Niue might not be on the world stage because of articles such as those detailing the International Date Line being around the edge of Kiribati, but nonetheless it holds its own allure. Despite having the same nickname, "The Rock" as a certain former prison off the coast off San Francisco, this upraised coral atoll, reputedly the largest in the world, will entrap you with its secluded swimming coves and marine life.

The latter is easily visible because Niue is an atoll, there is no silt run-off reducing underwater viewing distances. It would remiss to not mention the life that exists above the water, in the form of extremely pretty butterflies and flowers amongst other wonders of nature's creation.

The ultra adventurous might like to get involved with some long-distance sailing to other islands such as Samoa or even Tonga.There is always the worry that the reader is rather more foolhardy than brave, if this is so, they should be reminded that these trips should only be attempted by especially experienced sailors.
