Join Storytellers and cycle along the 'back road' (Ara Metua) and enjoy the tranquil pace of life on Rarotonga. There are plenty of stops to take in the beautiful mountain scenery, try a few local fruits, and hear stories that will bring a deeper meaning to the observations you make. You will be cycling on and off over a leisurely 3 hours (covering approximately 11 to 12 kms), before finishing up with a delicious light lunch at the beach, followed by a swim. Total duration is approximately 4 to 5 hours (pick up between 7.50 and 8.40am, intro / safety / equipment set up 8.40 to 9am, tour 9 to 12noon, lunch and swim 12 to 12.30pm, drop offs 12.30 to 1.20pm). Small group size means that each tour is unique and tailored to suit the interests of those doing the tour on the day.
