What not to do when visiting Niue
Don’t ever offend Church - it’s a central feature of the social organisation.
Don’t disrespect elders - Niuean society is based on obedience to and respect for those who are older than oneself, with special accord being given to males and those who are first-born.
Don't refuse the Hibiscus blossom when offered - place it behind your left ear. The Tiare Tahiti flower can be found only in French Polynesia and is used to welcome friends or new visitors.
