Excursion Hiking with silversea expedition team tour at Alofi

Follow your Expedition Guide on a Minimal activity walk to the natural Matapa Chasm, noted for its expansive face and historical importance as a reserved bathing place for Niue's traditional kings. Be amazed by the breathtaking view where freshwater meets salt water and perhaps even take a dip in the sparkling waters. Thereafter we shall make our way to the Palaha Cave. The cave is a short walk from the main road over the natural stones where you will get the first glimpse of the cave and the reef. The cave consists of amazing natural formation of limestone and fossilized corals.

If that does not sound like something you want to do, another possibility is to go to Togo. The village is reached by a track starting about 4km north of Hakupu. After leaving the bush, the track descends through a mass of jagged coral pinnacles to a grassy flate where a passage leads off the edge of a chasm. At the foot of the chasm there is a beach of fine golden sand from which some coconut trees rise, almost reaching to the rim of the chasm.
