5.00Cortina was absolutely delightful. So knowledgeable on the Cook Islands history and politics. We loved her botanical knowledge and getting to taste some delightful items. Some sweet, some tart, always interesting! Lunch at the Falafel Hut was great!

5.00A delightful way to spend the morning exploring the back roads of Rarotonga Island. Corinna tailored the experience to the group's interests, sharing fascinating stories and insights into Rarotongan culture. Along the way, we made stops to admire the native flora and fauna, and even sampled some delicious—and not-so-delicious—fruits. The lunch treat prepared by Caroline at the end of the ride was a wonderful addition to the experience!

5.00Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and open to any questions about Flora, fauna, Raratonga Island life. She paid attention to the ability level of the group, and did not have us do more than able. The route we took was very interesting , and was a back road, so no worries about cars. The lunch at the end was fantastic, on the beach. Great, great experience. Highly recommend!

5.00Such a fun and unique way to experience the island! Highly recommend. There were a lot of stops to rest and to learn abt native plants and fruits as we passed by. The beach stop at the end was a perfect way to end the ride.

5.00Our Storytellers bike tour with Corrina was excellent from start to finish. She picked us up from our hotel which was a short way to where we started our ride. We wanted to learn a little bit about everything Raro, from the history to everyday life to flora and fauna. The bike ride took us along the “ancient” road which locals used to travel on hundreds of years ago before there was a main road closer to the beach which was lovely. We were able to enjoy the mountain scenery, local life, and small plantations. Corrina expertly pointed out points of interest and made ample stops along the way so we were never out of breath. My favorite part of the tour was learning about all the local trees and how they’re used as well as husking our own coconut. Our tour ended on a beautiful beach with a delicious sandwich, banana muffin, and pawpaw fruit. Everything was delicious! I’d highly recommend this tour as a fun and educational way to spend the day and see the island as a local.
Cycling tour that surpassed expectations

5.00What a great morning. Generally you book a tour with no real understanding of what lies ahead. This cycling tour surpassed any positive expectations we had. The ride was leisurely with plenty of stops along the way to take in the scenery and ask questions. The guide was very very informative and possessed a full knowledge of Rarotonga and the Cook Islands. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rarotonga. Lunch at the conclusion of the tour was very appreciated.
Lovely Sunday morning
