French Polynesia · CYCLING TOURS
Good cycling tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Take a three-hour guided ATV loop around Bora Bora with English or French-speaking guides such as Mana, Tahi, or Manu. Ride three off-road trails, stop at Amanahune Plateau, Anau rock, and the Faanui Cannon, then taste fruit, coconut bread, and local juice.
“Caleb our guide did a great job. We had a blast. The views were so beautiful.”
Join Teiki of Local Motion Tour Tahiti for a private electric mountain-bike ride through the little-visited Titaaviri Valley. Expect rough 4x4 tracks, rainforest birds, waterfalls, two swimming pools, a sandwich lunch, and plenty of rain and mud. Groups are limited to four.
“Thrilling electric mountain bike riding for all levels with some truly unique and stunning scenery. You will get wet, you will get muddy, you will have fun. My personal tip though, is don't carry your phone loosely in your pocket.”
EBike Moorea delivers an electric bike to your accommodation, fits the saddle, explains the controls, and supplies a helmet, lock, and map on request. With advice from Jesse or Audrey, you can ride the 62-kilometer island loop, stopping at Belvedere, pineapple plantations, beaches, temples, and lagoon restaurants.
“Jesse was fantastic with his tips and tricks. That’s where it stopped. The bikes were old not maintained and scary really. We are big bikers and to spend the money for bikes that had extremely high warped rims was a bit challenging, but we had fun with it nonetheless”
Jesse, Audrey, or the E-Bike Moorea team delivers your electric bike to a hotel or cruise-port meeting point, explains the controls, and supplies a map, helmet, and lock. Choose four or eight hours, then ride to beaches, pineapple plantations, temples, Belvedere, and island restaurants at your own pace.
“We had a fantastic time using e-bike moorea ! They were friendly knowledgeable and the best to work with. Thank you !!!!”
Guide Teiki leads a small-group e-bike ride into Tahiti’s little-visited Titaaviri Valley. You’ll follow a 4x4 track, spot local birds, swim at black sand pools, eat lunch, and stop at the icy King’s Basin. Hotel pickup, gear, towels, photos, and drone footage are included.
“My boyfriend and booked this tour and had such an amazing time! We were the only ones on the tour and Teiki paid very close attention to how we were feeling on this ride. The views were stunning and the ride was absolutely gorgeous. It was such a fun ride and we got to take pictures at this really great spot with a bunch of waterfalls and got to swim! Make sure you wear clothes you’re okay with getting wet and make muddy. And outdoor shoes as well. This was truly a phenomenal experience and the highlight of our trip. A must do if you’re looking for something adventurous.”
Pick a lagoon, a reef or a mountain track.
