Flight time.
3 hours and 25 minutes from Auckland to Niue, 4 hours and 17 minutes from Wellington to Niue and 4 hours and 45 minutes from Christchurch to Niue.
You’ll never feel like just another tourist on Niue, the island nation a three-hour flight from Auckland. That’s because, with just under 130 guest rooms, there are often more whales visiting in season than human visitors!
Niue is one of the world’s largest raised coral atolls and is home to around 1600 hospitable residents. There’s no such word as rush hour on Niue, it’s one of the world’s safest destinations and you don’t need foreign exchange – Niue uses the Kiwi dollar. What many people don’t know is that Niue is far from tiny – it’s over four times the size of Rarotonga. A quarter of the island is clothed in pristine rainforest and almost the entire island is surrounded by 20 to 30-metre cliffs, and dramatic beautiful chasms and coves provide perfect swimming spots. Niue is also honeycombed with some of the South Pacific’s most spectacular and extensive caves. The island is encircled by a 64 kilometre coastal road so bikes are a great way to get around, although you can also hire a car. Diving and snorkelling around Niue’s coast is renowned for its water clarity and the richness of its marine life. Swimming with humpback whales (in season) is unforgettable and thanks to Niue’s deep surrounding waters, you can sip a cocktail and marvel at these awesome giants breaching just 50 metres from shore.
3 hours and 25 minutes from Auckland to Niue, 4 hours and 17 minutes from Wellington to Niue and 4 hours and 45 minutes from Christchurch to Niue.
The ideal time to visit Niue is from May to October, with cooler temperatures and less rainfall, perfect for outdoor activities. This period also offers excellent whale-watching opportunities from July to October. The low season, November to April, may provide increased rainfall.

BiancaLeaving home at 19 with a one way ticket to London to start my OE, it's fair to say I've had the travel bug for years!
Living overseas for 8 years, and in London for four years, I travelled extensively around Europe. Barcelona is my favourite city!
Then living in Melbourne for four years after that, this is where I started my career in travel in 2004. It was my dream job all those years ago and I still smile every day when I come to work now, I LOVE this job!
Nothing brings me more joy then hearing of clients travel plans, putting together itineraries and making their travel experience run as smooth as possible from start to finish.
I like to think I am a friendly, bubbly personality, a good listener and I will take on board your needs while also guiding you with helpful advice and suggestions when needed. I live on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and three young children, I understand the #mum-life juggle and the need to get away and escape for a holiday sometimes! Having travelled to nearly 40 countries, I have lots of experience that I cant wait to share it with you. Looking forward to meeting you soon.

In April 2023, I was given an opportunity to work here at House of Travel Ellerslie in a retail role. Here I have discovered a love of creating and curating holidays for all types of travellers to ensure they have the best possible experiences while there.
