5 stars✨ , excellent way to start the trip! - Super knowledgeable, patient and friendly tour guide! Not too strenuous but a perfect pace for a hot humid day. Took 13 yr old child who had a blast. Learned tons about the island, culture and amazing fruits that grow along the path- some of which we got to try! Nice little waterfall at the end was refreshing! One of the highlights of the trip, a great way to get a little exercise and learn!

Excellent tour- Great value for money - We absolutely loved the 3-hour bike tour. We were picked up right on time from our resort, and the bikes were in great condition. Corinna and the lovely lady who brought our lunch were both wonderful and very welcoming. We really enjoyed the experience and felt it was excellent value for money.

Island views and Ocean Breezes, Cycling Rarotonga at its B.est. - This was a thoroughly enjoyable cycle tour, our tour guide Corinna was knowledgable and very accomodating to what we all wanted to see on the tour. Along the way we stopped at different places and we were even encouraged to participate in opening a coconut and taste it. Corinna showed us local culture of significance, talked about history of the island and showed us interesting and beautiful places and places. The lunch was delicious too. Highly recommend this experience.

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!

Bad mouthing never wins love. Food allergies ignored. - Now the rating is complicated: Bike ride 5/5 stars. The history 5/5. The tour route, 5/5. Now for the problems: The swim in the waterfall 30mins to 1hr, fine right? The contrasting swim at the beach, we were all told 1hr, in reality it was 10mins. I cannot stand not being given accurate info, 0/5 stars. There was such a race to leave the beach, an under armour shirt was left in the chaos, thank god we had hired our own car! The fact that the dietary requirements were given and not followed 0/5 stars. Two of us put food allergies only to be ignored?? Why put them in then?? To be fair, the banana bread, cassava chips shared between 5 people were nice, hardly substantial for lunch though. The real icing that clinched the review was there bad mouthing of Captain Tomas Lagoon Cruises because they are the original cruise. The bike company spouts and totes for Koka because there is a kiwi owner. That’s just not right, I didn’t appreciate it. Yes Captain Tomas might make a light hearted joke when and who models using the Sarong but to be misleading and scaring people away from the original.. no I cannot in good faith recommend this again.
