With Air New Zealand supplying the only passenger flight to Niue on a weekly basis, what is there to do for several days on a coral island inhabited by 1500 people? Plenty, especially if you love the sea, as Lisa and John Jamieson discovered on their wedding anniversary.
If you took Rarotonga and stretched it out to twice its size, raised it out of the water to create cliffs down to the reef, punched various holes in the reef to make swimming holes and in the cliffs to make caves and chasms, filled the forests with geckos and land-dwelling crabs, filtered the sea water to make it crystal clear and chucked some sea snakes and hard corals with tropical fish around the fringes, then you’d be wasting your time, because it looks very much as if someone has already done it – and it’s called Niue.
Day
1
A few hours of sleep and, as Niue is just on the other side of the dataline from New Zealand, it was Friday morning again – a kind of Ground Hog Day event! Matavai Resort is on a cliff top with multi layered decks enabling you to enjoy the view of the gorgeous south-western bay from various areas, including two pools. As we were soon to find out, it was the perfect place to sit with a drink or three and watch the sunset each evening with spinner dolphins playing off the reef and schools of fish panicking at the surface.
We took a stroll about 500m
down the road to Pofitu sea track which meanders through some bush
with lupa caterpillars hanging on silken threads from skeletonised
foliage. Geckos and crabs scuttled away through the leaf litter as
we strolled to steps leading down to the reef. A frolic on the reef
in the shin deep water enabled us to catch our first
glimpse of the graceful sea snake (katuali)
– a peaceful and curious character with strong venom but no
inclination to nibble us as their mouth is too small and, well,
they just don’t want to try people,
anyway.
With our new wheels we explored Anaana lookout where
there were rod holders cemented on top of the cliff and flat bits
of cement to sit at your rod. After sitting on the jagged coral
rook we decided the strange flat bits of cement weren’t such a dumb
idea after all. At the end of Tamakaoutoga sea track, we found a
wee beach where you can take a shallow swim when the tide is in.
When the tide is out you can walk to the end of the reef for a
snorkel at a top dive spot.
