Niue Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps Introduction The islanders call it 'the Rock', its name means 'Behold the Coconut', Captain Cook got it utterly wrong and dubbed it Savage Island - and we call it Niue (pronounced ' new -ay'), one of the Pacific's smallest, friendliest and most unassuming nations. This laid-back spot offers peerless diving in clear seas, though the waters are shared with scores of striped sea snakes (but don't worry, they're mostly harmless). The rocky island is riddled with fabulous caves and dramatic coastal walks. Full country name: Niue Area: 259 sq km Population: People: Polynesian (85% Niuean, plus Tongan, Tuvaluan, Samoan), New Zealanders Language: Niuean, English Religion: Ekalesia Niue (Protestant) 75%, Latter-day Saint 10%, Roman Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh-Day Adventist, Baha'i Government: self-governing parliamentary democracy, operating in free association with New Zealand Head of Government: Prime Minister Young Vivian GDP: US$7 million GDP per capita: US$3,600

About us Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News member of Niue Culture We take pride in our many traditions and culture that have been handed down from generation to generation as a "living entity". Many are still being observed today such as our "kaloama season" where seasonal 'sardine like' fish visit our shores. When the Kaloama run, some reef areas are closed from public swimming but there are still numerous other swimming pools and coves that can be used during that short period. You need only ask for guidance from locals or at the Niue Information & Booking Centre. Haircutting and Ear Piercing Ceremonies A major event for a teenage boy is his haircutting ceremony, when the long tail of hair that he has kept since childhood is removed. Guests invited to the concurrent feast each contribute hundreds of dollars to a fund that goes to the boy after the celebration costs are paid. For girls there is a similar ear piercing ceremony. These gatherings are usually held on a Saturday in private homes. Families welcome visitors to these occasions when permission is asked beforehand. It is an opportunity to see and witness a local tradition and share in that experience with the host family.

About us Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.
