Great tour - My wife and I had a great time exploring with our guide Corinna. She was full of cultural information and took us off the beaten path. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re worried about the physical demand of the ride. None of us on the tour were spring chickens and we were all able to keep up. Corinna takes multiple breaks throughout the tour to tell stories or pick tropical fruits from trees along the route for you to taste. At the end of the ride a delicious simple lunch was provided and eaten on the beach.

Relax and informative bike tour - great experience - 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!

Corrina runs a great tour! - Corrina does a superb job on this informative bike tour. She asked at the outset what we were most interested in - history, food, plants, eccentric stuff - and then tailored the tour stops and talks around our interests. Lots of opportunities to sample fruits direct from the trees (which she has permission to do from the local property owners), and a nice picnic lunch on the beach. She can do all sorts of tours, but it seems that the more information you give her when you book, the better chance she has to match your exact needs.

Personalized and informative tour - Fantastic, authentic and well informed tour. We were a large group, ranging in age from 11 - 60 years. Corrina went out of her way to ensure she catered to everyone and the different parts of the tour that they were most interested in. Easy cycling, great bikes and an opportunity to learn and try so many different fruits on the island. Highly recommended!!

Host made an enjoyable experience despite bad weather ❤️ - 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.

Storytelling Bike Ride - We learned quite a lot about the history and culture of Rarotonga on this tour. Quite a but if stopping, but despite us wanting a bit more of a ride, we quite enjoyed it overall. Thank you, Corinna, for a lovely day.

Disappointing - This was not storytelling tour, just a question and answer short 7k cycle. All six considered not be value for money. The tour guide was really sick so should not have been around people. She clearly did not want to be doing her job that day.
