Diving & Snorkelling

When it comes to underwater adventure, Niue packs a lot in!
With crystal-clear waters offering visibility of up to 80 metres, and a vibrant marine ecosystem, Niue offers some of the most memorable diving and snorkelling experiences in the world.

Beneath the surface, divers will discover an underwater paradise teeming with life. Niue is home to over 180 species of coral and 250 species of fish, thriving in the island’s expansive hard coral reefs. These healthy reef systems are a haven for marine life, including the Katuali - Niue’s native sea snake, often spotted gliding gracefully through the water. The caves, caverns, and drop-offs surrounding the island create a playground for both beginner and advanced divers looking to explore something truly unique.

For those who prefer to stay closer to the surface, snorkelling in Niue is just as rewarding. Many top snorkelling spots are accessible straight from the beach, making it easy for visitors of all ages and abilities to enjoy the island’s vibrant reef life. Don’t be surprised if you come across a hidden chasm used by ancient Niuean kings - just one of many historical and natural wonders tucked into the coastline.

Niue also offers a rare chance to swim with wild marine mammals. From July to October, Humpback Whales visit the waters around Niue, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim alongside these gentle giants. Spinner dolphins are also frequent visitors and can often be seen playing in the surf year-round.

Whether you're diving deep or floating gently at the surface, Niue’s waters promise unforgettable encounters in one of the most untouched marine environments on Earth.
