A cruisy ride around learning about different aspects or Rarotongan culture and the island. - I am so glad we did this. I really enjoyed riding around the island. The bikes were really easy to ride and set up for our varying heights. The ride itself is easy going. Riding on the flat for 10 minutes at a time then stopping to hear any different locations. There were two steep parts that lasted about 2 minutes each. Corrina asks what people are most interested in before she begins the tour and does her best to cover them. At the end the had a nice picnic by the sea with subs, fruit and cake.

This was a fantastic... - This was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this activity. It was lovely seeing Rarotonga on a bike and going through the back streets. The guide was very informative and I really enjoyed the opportunity to husk my own coconut and try different fruits. The lunch on the beach was lovely as well.

Awesome choice - What a great way to experience the Island with a local guide who was very informative & easy to talk to. Karina was happy to cater the tour around our interests & was great how we stopped & chatted around learning new things. Was not too hard & enjoyed a casual ride. Lunch was delicious & a great swim at the end.

“Discover” bicycle tour is 4 hour scenic, informative, and leisurely bicycle tour - This “Discover” bicycle tour is a 4-hour scenic, informative, and leisurely ride mostly off the main road in Rarotonga, and it’s conducted by tour owner/guide Carissa. It’s safe, fun, and unforgettable. Even the occasional bicyclist like me could do it.

A wonderful experience - Corrina was an excellent guide. She told great stories about the history and people of Rarotonga. The ride is easy. She stopped a lot to tell us information, but mostly to pick fresh fruit and have us try a taste. That was very interesting to try all of the fruits. We even learned how to shuck a coconut. This was a great experience. It ended with a picnic lunch on the beach.

Island Cycling Tour - A pleasant cycle along the backroads learning about village history and the many crops and fruits grown on the island. We have cycled this route before but I had no idea what I was cycling past until the tour. The tastings were lots of fun even the dreadful smelling noni. The kids loved husking the coconuts and feeling the pigs. A lovely lunch to finish the morning before a quick dip and home.
