Niue
July 17, 2017
Every month throughout the year each Niuean village has their annual “Village Show Day” which is a typical Niue ‘Food and Arts Festival’ day. A fantastic day out for friends and families and one that visitors thoroughly enjoy.
This is the main day for each village to showcase their amazing talents through creative hand crafts and embroidery displays, locally grown produce and making some extra cash through food stalls, games and competitions. The wonderful array of crafts and local produce are judged for prizes and sold very quickly. It truly is a wonderful day out for everyone and it just gets better and more creative every year.

According to some European cave experts, Niue possesses the most spectacular and extensive cave system in the entire South Pacific.
Niue’s coastline is punctuated by literally hundreds of magnificent caves and chasms. All are unique and some, where the sea no longer invades, are used for the storage of canoes while others have been used as ancient burial places or homes in the past.

Have the uga lifecycle explained and see first hand some of the methods used to capture them and why they are of such cultural importance to Niueans. Visitors may also have the opportunity to hold an uga
