Niue Tourism Chief Executive Felicity Bollen says the festival promises to be an event to remember. "KaiNiue Food Festival will be a magical celebration of food and wine that is not to be missed.  We can't wait to show off Niue's Pacific flavours, our amazing island and unique culture, but foodies need to book now because there are limited tickets to each event," she says.

KaiNiue Food Festival visitors will also have time to sample the other delights of this amazing island - from swimming and snorkelling in some of the clearest water in the world, to whale and dolphin-watching, exploring the many hidden sea tracks, caves and chasms, or simply relaxing in Niue's balmy tropical climate.
