About Alofi

Alofi is the small capital of Niue, a raised coral island in the South Pacific about 480 km east of Tonga. The whole island can be driven around in a few hours, and its coast is lined with sea tracks that lead down through the forest to reef pools, caves and chasms.

In central Alofi, the visitor information centre stands next to the local market, held on Tuesday and Friday mornings, where tropical fruit and local foods such as coconut crab and taro are sold.

There is no public transport, so going beyond town means a hire car, a bike or a tour. On Sundays most businesses close for church.

Climate
Tropical, with a hot, wet season from November to April (highs about 29-30 C, roughly 220-360 mm of rain a month from January to April) that is also the cyclone season, and a cooler, drier season from May to October (highs about 26-28 C, lows about 18-20 C, roughly 90-165 mm a month). Rainfall is about 2,000 mm a year; figures are approximate, from Hanan Airport records.
