Dive off the rocks and plunge into the glassy waters of Matapa Chasm, a beautiful channel flanked by cliffs in Hikutavake. Swim in the waters once used as a bathing pool by Niue royalty, spot schools of tropical fish or simply lie back on the warm rocks that surround the gentle waters of the channel. Take a moment to peer into the deep chasm and imagine the gradual force of the elements that gouged away the rock over thousands of years. Gazing along the oceanfront, you’ll see the degradation of the cliff into the narrow gorge. Those seeking a bit of adventure can clamber up the sides of the canyon and jump into the water from the cliff. Swimming in the sheltered water, you might notice that the water temperature is slightly warmer in the deeper parts of the chasm. This is caused by the cool rainwater that flows onto the water’s surface from the rocks and mixes with the mild seawater. There is an easy access point on the lower rocks for those who prefer not to leap into the water. Don’t forget your snorkel and mask, as there is plenty of fascinating marine life to check out beneath the water’s surface. Dive deeper to see crabs and crayfish on the rocky floor, as well as schools of tropical fish darting around in the clear channel. The smooth and weathered rocks of the canyon are also ideal for sunbathing. Spread out a towel and take in the warm rays of the sun. You’ll be able to hear the sound of the water in the chasm as well as the far-off roar of the ocean. Matapa Chasm is accessible via a 10-minute walk along a scenic forest trail in Hikutavake. You can enjoy a swim at the Matapa Chasm at any time, despite the tides that push and pull against the northern coast of Niue. ### Popular places to visit ![Talava Arches showing rugged coastline](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/109000/109090-Talava-Arches.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Talava Arches See one of Niue’s most treasured natural landmarks and marvel at the power of the Pacific Ocean on the limestone core of the island.
