The northern coast of the island contains these beautiful swimming and snorkeling areas.

Stunning natural pools within a short walk from the road side. This was a perfect place for our group, as there was deeper water and rocks for adults to jump from, and shallower water perfect for our 7-year-old to snorkel around. There was also a shade cloth which was a lovely respite from the sun! Just perfect.

The historic location where Captain Cook attempted to land in the 1700s.
Reviewed By Hopotoa
Uplifting feeling of once was a place the well known Captain James Cook landed in 1774 with the elite navy of her majesty of England the Queen Elizabeth. A history oriented person will automatically feel the presence of the event long past when the great navigator once was on at this very place confronting the elite warriors of Niue. Best of the best warriors of that time in the Pacific are a legend remembered by Niue people and all Pacific islands. Navy soldiers of England was no match for the fierce Niue warriors after a fierce challenge with the guns and cannon firepower of England. It didn't impress them at all. The captain was moved and was admired by their bravery. He honor their courage as a fair challenge during the negotiation ended up in a draw that the warriors won and a friendly diplomacy established. A metaphorical name Savage Island was given to honor and protect Niue from foreign invasion. A special envoy from England later visit Niue to meet the king to sign a treaty of ally country and under protection of her majesty the queen. The place has massive rocks brought in by legendary Maui to block the entrance to the land. Fishermen with their canoes go fishing at this place. A good place to take photos of people dress up as Niue warriors. It mainly a place where England and Niue made a historical connection. To this day that special connection still remains.

Come at low tide and you will be treated to the best snorkelling on all of Niue. The corals are lush, colourful and varied and there is a huge number of fish and some sea snakes. The beach is quite small (and virtually disappears when it's not low tide) but the reef starts very close to the shore and is dense. Be careful of strong currents around here.

Another lovely little bay with short walk to access it. Nice to actually sit on some sand rather than rock and nice place to snorkel at the right tide.
