Perfect bicycle tour catered to your interests and cycling ability! - Wonderful tour with Dr. Corinna Tucker! Her experience living on the island combined with her knowledge as a researcher, writer and educator made for an engaging, interesting and fun tour. We saw parts of the island off the main road and learned about food, culture, language and so much more! I highly recommend this tour with the lunch on the beach and swim afterwards. It was a perfect way to end! The cycling speed and intensity depends on the group. Ours was well paced with participants ranging from 8 to 70 years old!

Must do when you first arrive in Rarotonga - What a great start to our Rarotonga holiday, getting to know the history, flora and fauna, culture and folklore, how to husk a coconut while cycling around the beautiful island of Rarotonga. Stopped for a delicious coffee and finished with a tasty picnic on the beach Corinna is a fantastic guide and covers all sorts of topics and is happy to answer any questions, Cycling is very easy as mostly flat roads and the pace is leisurely. Highly recommend this trip.

Leisurely ride to beautiful secluded tracks - Corrina is a fantastic guide. She is very knowledgeable and well informed about a vast array of island subjects. Her foraging skills are superb! We learnt what we could (and couldn’t!) eat from the land, and all the local insider tips and tricks. Corrina has researched a lot of subjects and knows what she is taking about covering the history of the island right up to modern day. The pace of the ride is leisurely and enjoyable. The secret waterfall is beautiful and it was so lovely to enjoy a place off the beaten track that is well away from the hordes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and the best part was going to areas of the island that we would never have gone to on our own that are private and secluded.

Highly recommend! Loved it! - Dr. Corrina is so knowledgeable. We had an amazing day exploring raro scenery, away from the main road, and learn about its history, food, culture and everyday life like a local. Enjoying fresh fruits on our way and ending the tour with a delicious beach lunch!

Fun and learning while you pedal - We started our day by getting picked up by Corinna with a fun ride to our destination to get started . It was a great way to explore parts of Rarotonga and into the back roads to try the fruits and cracking coconuts and find out information about everything . Corina was very knowledgable and great storyteller . We finished our day with a picnic on the beach and a beautiful swim . We would highly recommend from all 4 of us to do this tour if you get a chance .

Amazing Trip around Raro - This was the perfect way to be introduced to the island! We got to experience such an intimate atmosphere with so much to learn, do and eat lol. I couldn’t recommend more by starting off your holiday with a bike tour around the place. It was so fun and interesting. Would definitely do it again!

Bike tour - Great back roads trip around Rarotonga, with the opportunity to stop and try some of the many tropical fruits growing by the roadside. Gave good insight to local culture and day to day living on the Islands. Tasty lunch and well maintained, comfortable bikes. Highly recommend

A worthwhile experience and excellent guide. - Learning about the history of the island and tasting the various fruits that are growing naturally. Also, the biking was at a good pace and not too strenuous.

A Must-Do! - Communication before the tour was excellent. Corinna happily accommodated our dietary needs for the lunch. She adapted the tour to the interests of our little group, and was able to answer our wide-ranging questions about historical and modern life on the island. We were all in our 50’s, and the biking was not difficult, especially with lots of stops to see things. But we did appreciate the stop to sit in the waterfall! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip!
