Rules in force · 9
- Oceania ↗Oceania's island states guard their farms and reefs at the border: tick 'yes' on the arrival card for any food, plant, animal product, soil or used outdoor gear, and let the officer decide.
- Oceania ↗Across the tropical South Pacific, cyclones are possible from November to April: choose insurance that covers weather delays and keep one spare night before a long-haul departure.
- Polynesia ↗In much of Polynesia Sunday is kept for church and family: expect shops, tours and some flights to stop, and dress and behave quietly in villages.
- Niue ↗Entry rules are Niue's own: many visitors get a permit on arrival with an onward ticket and booked accommodation, but check Niue immigration for your passport. Travelling through Auckland may require an NZeTA or transit visa; check New Zealand's rules too.
- Niue ↗Declare food, plant and animal products on arrival; Niue protects its crops from pests.
- Niue ↗Sea tracks cross village and family land: follow local signs, some charge an access fee, and some are closed on Sundays.
- Alofi and the west coast ↗Sunday is a rest day: shops, cafés and dive operators close, so plan food and the flight around it.
- Alofi ↗Sunday is a rest day: most shops, cafés and dive operators close, so plan the arrival, the flight home and the food shopping around it.
- Alofi ↗There is no public transport, ride-hailing or metered taxi: your host or a hire firm arranges the airport pickup and a hire car for the island; ask how to get the local driving permit when you book.

Rescue anchors
A rescue anchor is a spot where you can stop and recover if the walk goes wrong: a bench, a café, a toilet. Every letter on the map is one anchor, and each has a card below. We check that any point in the cluster is within about 7 minutes’ walk of one, so you are never far from somewhere to sit down.
Lettered circles: rescue anchors (green works in any conditions, amber only on hot days). Dashed outline: the cluster. Red dots: spots more than 7 min from any anchor. Drag to move; click the map, then scroll to zoom.
