It was wet but the guys on board were awesome. We really got to find our feet on the island and learn about the culture of the cook island people. It was a great way to start our trip. The boys really know how to entertain and the food was great. More

We went on this tour about a week after arriving in Rarotonga. Probably would suggest to anyone wanting to do this tour is do it first before anything else. We had already spend 5days exploring the island on our scooter. The tour is a lot of looking a banana trees, coconut trees etc. Lunch was alright, was a little suspect... More

An enjoyable tour around the island. We were first taken on an informative trip around the back roads of the island before being driven up into the hills for a lovely view. More

My boss and I took our family on the tour and it was fantastic. My children being boys loved the tour and the idea of the back road and mountain drives. The atmosphere is amazing. Two thumbs up to Louisa and her team for the amazing services they provide to our locals and tourists. Great idea for stags or hens... More

This 4WD tour exceeded our expectations. My husband and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and were more than happy with our guide, Mr Hopeless, who was not hopeless at all, but an excellent and funny host! His local knowledge was in-depth and his singing kept us all entertained. The best part of the day was the drive up in... More

This was a great way to spend the morning. Captain V and McFly were friendly and informative. V is clearly passionate about his culture and McFly stopped the truck to pick me starfruit when I said I hadnt tasted it. We chose the $75 morning tour which included a lovely lunch and there was plenty of it for anyone who... More

The tour was fun and informative, although I recommend doing it at the beginning of your holiday, as they showed us alot of things we had already found ourselves by exploring. The drivers/guides are great fun and very knowledgable. We were able to sample various local fruits picked straight from the trees, as well as coconuts at the top of... More
