About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- LynneP7140 contributionsFun and learning while you pedalWe 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 .Written 25 February 2025
- Cheyenne B0 contributionsAmazing Trip around RaroThis 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!Written 12 February 2025
- CarmenP13490 contributionsBike tourGreat 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 recommendWritten 3 January 2025
- Tink-n-Peter0 contributionsA 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!Written 30 October 2024
- Beachgirl99990 contributionsFantastic!!!!!!Corrina was the most knowledgeable guide. She asked us what we wanted to see and tried to accommodate everyone in the group. We were interested in plants and history and trying to eat edible plants. She was simply fascinating . Corrina is well spoken, humble, strong, a wonderful storyteller and is an accomplished singer also. We ended up touring with her twice. She was that much fun! It’s a must do when you go to Rarotonga! She is great. Don’t miss this amazing ride!Written 1 September 2024
- susancR2719TC0 contributionsHighly recommendThis was a fantastic experience, Corinna was a very warm and knowledgeable guide. We learnt so much about CI culture and history as well as tasting fruits along the way. Corunna asked at the beginning of the tour what we were all interested in learning about so she could accommodate our interests. Lunch was great and the whole experience exceeded expectations and was very good value.Written 3 August 2024
- susancR2719TC0 contributionsFantastic tourHighly recommended - we had a fantastic time. Corinna is so knowledgeable about the area, history and culture. She can cater to all interests depending what you want to get out of the day. Lunch was delicious. Unlike some of the tours in the island we felt it was very good value with a delicious lunch provided. Best tour we have done on the island.Written 2 August 2024
- nataliepT6851WH0 contributionsGreat Cycle Experience!Great Tour and we all four highly recommend Corinna's tour for a day trip! Corinna gave us all kind of history of area, vistas to photograph, dleicious lunch and swim provided and all kinds of information of the flora and fauna. Even met locals and art gallery along the way. Plenty of stops along the way and very safety conscience.Written 18 July 2024
- 271rubyg0 contributionsCasual walk with local fruits and nature knowledge.3/5 stars. Not worth $50. This experience was a laid-back and casual style walk around some of the exteriors of prominent Island buildings. The guide is lovely and passionate about the indigenous fruits and trees, however the tour was unstructured and under researched. I found I was left unsatisfied as the tour didn't scratch my curiosity itch. The guide didn't speak much, unless questioned. The guide welcomed questions, however didn't have many answers or local intel (ie: history, settlement, traditional practices, Maori culture or economic data). Would have appreciated more bang for buck. Better to go to one of the island museums if you're keen to learn or orientate. If you go with this tour, bring a big hat and water.Written 5 July 2024
- 160emmau0 contributionsHistory, culture and plant life in AvaruaThe booking process was relatively easy and the communication with the guide was excellent. The tour itself was informative and enjoyable. On our casual stroll around Avarua we saw some local and historical sites and listened to some of their stories. We learned about the many native and exotic plants along the way, one that is poisonous! Thank you Corinna for the experience and a cool drink at the local pub to finish. Highly recommended.

- Daydream7674690 contributionsGreat way to see Rarotonga from a different perspectiveGreat way to see Rarotonga from a different perspective. The bikes were comfortable and in great working order. Corrine is very knowledgeable about the island and its people, politics, and culture. We had some beautiful beach stops and took an inland road learned a ton about the island’s agriculture as we stopped along the way and picked and ate fresh fruits along the way, learned how to husk a fresh coconut with a stick and more- got carried away in conversation forgetting we were even on a tour. Very fun, informative, and would highly recommendWritten 23 June 2024
- Janelle M0 contributionsMust Do at RarotongaThis was the highlight activity for me when holidaying at Rarotonga 😊 Corrinna is an excellent guide, providing extremely knowledgeable insight into culture, history, as well as ample opportunities to sample fresh local produce growing alongside our trekking path. We were not rushed at all, taking our time to enjoy everything around us. The bikes are in prime condition, with Corrinna ensuring everyone was comfortable and fitted out well. The beach picnic at the end was truly scrumptious. I am going back next year and will be booking again.Written 3 May 2024

Went to check email night before, still going ahead and it was cancelled on the morning of the walk,no reason as to why. Disappointed. Have refunded but less an admin fee?Written 26 April 2024
- scrane20160 contributionsBest bike tour for a perfect exploration of the islandThis tour is the perfect way to explore Rarotonga. Corina, our Kiwi tour leader, had a great love and deep knowledge of her adopted island and happily shared entertaining information about the local culture, history, and plant life. Totally recommend taking this fantastic tour.Written 31 January 2024
- Gabriellaalvaro0 contributionsExciting, surprising & informative! WE loved it!!Corrina welcomed my three children, husband, mother-in-law and I warmly at our resort. We took the truck to our starting point and enjoyed an incredibly informative, exciting, and surprising tour! Our children were amazed by the beauty which surrounded us at every corner. Corinna’s skill and intelligence about the nature which surrounds the island, knowledge about politics, way of living and beyond was not only intriguing yet entertaining. Our children were excited to see new plants, taste the sweet fruits fresh from the trees, witness a coconut 🥥 being open, meet local animals, and learnt some valuable sustainable concepts. She was such a vibrant, welcoming, informative tour guide with a lot of surprises on her program!! Highly recommend if you want an easy walk, or for parents with younger ones.Written 2 October 2023

We did the Explore tour, which is the longer "sister" tour to the discover. It was me, my sister, and my two daughters (7.5 and almost 5). We had an absolute blast. My 7.5 year was on the tandem bike and kept a smile on her face the entire 16km (9.5 miles) while my younger daughter was in a dolittle seat on my bike.
We loved stopping for coffee on the beach while snacking on the ice cream bean that was freshly pulled from a tree. My very picky daughter tried nearly everything that was offered, even asking for seconds of the fresh coconut.
The views, the history, the food all made for a wonderful morning out and about. We adored Corrina's knowledge and insights. While Waka provided a light hearted air to the tour - he was also very helpful in ensuring everything was doing okay being safe. Both Corrina and Waka was wonderful with my girls.
I will also add that Corrina did a wonderful job of coordinating safe food for my daughter. She has a food allergy and Corrina made sure I was comfortable with the accomodations they had made for her.
My sister and I just keep talking about our tour and how much fun we had. Even my "let's lay at the beach" kiddos were asking if we were going again before we head home.
100% a must do if you're interested in local culture, history, and food!!!!

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.

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.

Highly recommend to anyone who wants a different way to see the island! Corrina is a wonderful guide and took us on a fun but relaxed journey on some of the inland roads. She knows exactly where to find all the best fruit trees — even in the off season, she took us to fresh tamarind (yum!) and ice cream beans. Bikes were in great condition and helmets are also included. We took plenty of breaks to rest and look at interesting sights and the bikes have plenty of gears to help you get uphill, so I think people with just about any fitness level can enjoy this tour (I was a bit nervous about not being able to keep up, but it wasn’t an issue at all).

I went on the Discover Cycle Tour with Corrina and Waqa and had a great time. We set off after receiving our bikes, helmets and a quick chat from Corrina regarding safety and what to expect. The bikes were easy to ride and the back roads were fairly flat making the ride an easy one. Corrina stopped along the way to show us the Island’s fruit and vegetables, chatted about some local customs and heritage of the Islanders. We fed some goats and saw some baby kids. The Tour ended on the beach with a delicious lunch of assorted tapas from a local cafe. This is a good tour to recommend for a great morning ride.

Good quality bikes, sized to fit the rider. Lunch was delicious and there was plenary of food. Really impressed. Would 100% recommend.

This is a really relaxed and easy ride. The guide Corrina is open and happy to receive suggestions on what information is of interest. We sampled local fruits and seeds and learned about the tribal history of the island. We saw the local prison and had a fresh and tasty lunch of sandwiches, fruit and muffins on the beach. I’d highly recommend it.

We had a lovely 3 hours tour with Corinna.
The ride was perfect for beginners and laid back. Corinna shared a lot of her knowledge regarding the history of the island, the culture, and the plants/trees. We tried some local fruits and finished the tour by a lunch by the beach. It was lovely, and we can tell Corinna is passionated about what she does!
This experience is perfect for someone who is looking to explore the back roads a bit more, get a better knowledge of the island and relax at the same time.
Thx Corinna!

The weather was really bad, but the host still made it an enjoyable experience. She was really friendly and had a lot of cool knowledge to share about the history and local plants and fruits. Bikes were good quality and easy to ride. Provided lunch was yummy. Got to eat a fresh coconut and fruits while biking on the tour. A great way to see the back roads of Rarotonga. Would highly recommend.

This is a lovely way to spend 3 hours exploring the back road of the South/West of the island, having a peek into the real lives of the locals.
Corinna knew just where to take us to enjoy fresh fruit straight off the tree, pointing out local flora & fauna as we went and a coconut husking demo (for volunteers, of course).
There was even time for a brief stop at Castaway resort for a cold drink midway through the ride.
We covered 13 klms at a gentle pace on mostly flat roads on good quality bikes.
An added bonus was standing in the back of the Ute for the ride back to our car like the locals do - illegal in Oz!! - but a thrill just the same!!
