5.00Unfortunately I couldn’t go on the tour due to bad weather, but the communication and support I received from the tour operator was excellent and I would absolutely book again. It seems like a number of activities in Raro are hosted by Viator and then pushed to TripAdvisor, and this caused me an endless headache when booking via TripAdvisor. Even though the vendor processed the refund for this one (weather cancellation) with Viator for me, I still had to get go into TripAdvisor to request the refund myself so that TripAdvisor and Viator would actually talk to each other and confirm it. Would book again but not on either site - I would trust the tour operator and book direct from their website.
Excellent cycling tour

5.00What a great experience we had. Corrina is a warm and engaging guide with a wealth of information about island food and culture. Our pick up transfer was 'Island style' in the back of a Ute (or you could ride in the cabin). The tour (8 + Corrina) is partly along the main outer road, but mostly along the inland roads. We aren't regular cyclists and had no trouble keeping up on the short inclines. There were frequent stops for collection fruits and taste testing and hearing about local stories and customs. We fed all our fruit scraps to a local pig. We finished with a delicious picnic lunch on the beach - turkish bread sandwiches, banana bread and breadfruit crisps. Followed by transfers back to our accommodation. We highly recommend this tour, there is nothing else like it on the island.
Fun morning getting to know Rarotonga

5.00Really enjoyed our ride to parts of Island we had not discovered. Loved the down to earth and informative chats from Corrina about different parts of history, Island life and her own experiences. Thanks for a great experience!
Worth doing

5.00A gentle cycle along the inside road near the airport and looping back on the main road. Carinna was an awesome guide. Many stops to see various landmarks of cultural significance and to learn about plants and fruit growing naturally. Ended with a picnic on the beach.
10/10 experience

5.00We had a wonderful morning bike ride. We got picked up from our hotel and driven “island style” to our starting point. Our host was attentive ajd made sure to always stop in the shade when explaining things. She went out of her way to make sure we tried all the fruits available. Husking and eating a coconut was a fun and unexpected treat. The lunch that provided was delicious! I would highly recommend this excursion. 10/10

5.00Wonderful tour with Corrina, we drove on the domestic route and learned a lot about the stories of the local tribes. Corrina showed us the local fruits, we could taste many. Delicious lunch on the beach. It was a lot of fun!
