“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.

Perfect first-day activity! - This was fabulous - we saw so much and Corinne really knew her stuff. We have relatively low fitness and I don't have much experience on bikes, so I was nervous, but I loved how we would cycle for just a little while and then pull over and have a chat! It was just right, and you should do this tour, especially at the beginning of your stay. Really gave us a sense of place. Thanks, C!

A wonderful way to see and learn about the Cook Islands - An amazing way to see the Island with wonderful local knowledge of the history, culture and food. After biking through different landscapes we were able to have a swim and then were provided a wonderful homemade lunch. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

Shelly didn't want to ride, but... - Our travel agent recommended this tour, and we're so pleased we went for the "ride." We were picked up at our resort, taken to the starting point, fitted for our bike, and off we went. Corrina (the owner and tour guide) was funny, informative, and made everyone feel at home. We rode mainly on the "old" road in the countryside away from the traffic. Saw crops, mountains, animals, etc. Ate coconuts, tamarind, and chili peppers. Tour ended at the beach with a picnic and an opportunity to chat with the other riders.

I initially thought we... - I initially thought we would be riding the main roads but was pleasantly surprised we got on the backroads and were informed about many interesting things and landmarks. Unfortunately our riding tour was cut short due to rain but we enjoyed a drive instead with a lovely lunch.
