Majestic Whale Encounters launches new tourNiue

View Map

Just when you thought your next island escape couldn’t get more brag-worthy, Majestic Whale Encounters has gone and launched a new tour to Niue (pronounced new-way), a speck in the South Pacific that packs more paradise per square metre than most countries can manage.

Home to just 1,600 people and roughly the same number of sea views, Niue is a place where your biggest worry is whether the dolphins will crash your swim with the humpbacks (they often do). From July to September, the island turns into an aquatic playground where whales cruise through bathtub-clear water and curious humans are invited (respectfully) to join the party.

Majestic Whale Encounters, long-time champions of ethical and eco-friendly adventures, are calling it their 8-day Niue Experience, which sounds blissfully simple because it is - swim with whales, soak up sunsets, and remember what it’s like to breathe properly. Between five guided whale swims, you’ll stay at the clifftop Matavai Resort, sipping poolside cocktails, devouring local feasts, and watching migrating whales roll past like they own the place (which, to be fair, they kind of do).

It’s family friendly, crowd-free, and traffic light–free, so it’s basically the anti-city break. Flights from Auckland take just over three hours, but mentally, you’ll be light-years away.
