Alofi is the largest city in and capital of Niue.

[edit] Get in

The airport is 2 km from town. Most accommodation options are in or near Alofi so getting in isn't a problem once you're on Niue.

Hitching is very safe and easy and just about anyone will pick you up.

[edit] Get around

Alofi is small enough to walk across in only a few minutes. If you don't want to walk, hire a bicycle for NZ$10 at Alofi Rentals

The wharf is a good place to undertake water activities. Visibility is excellent and you can see many tropical fish. Note that fishing and other activities are prohibited on Sunday

[edit][add listing] Buy

Alofi doesn't have a substantial range of souvenirs, but there are two shops that sell t-shirts, magnets, etc. At the post office you can send postcards overseas.

Niuean weaving is excellent and makes a great gift to friends back home
