Samoa Cycle Hire
New for 2012 - extended range of tour options (details coming soon)
Samoa lends itself to Cycle touring, but until now the only practical option has been to bring your own. Our cycle hire service is located near the airport and makes it easier to just get out and enjoy the roads and beaches without the hassle of cars and taxis. It's a fun way to experience several of the family beach resorts.
The Bikes
The 2011 bikes are GT Aggressor 1s with disk brakes. We also have several 2011 GT Laguna women's bikes (without the crossbar) The bikes include:
- Comfortable Gel seat
- Handlebar bag (much better than a backpack in a hot climate)
- Helmet
- pump, spare tube, basic tools
- Rear Carrier
- Lock
Optional extra:
- Rear Panniers
All bikes will be cleaned and serviced between hires and fitted to you.
Hire Location
Airport Lodge Motel is located 10 minutes from the airport and close to the ferry to Savaii. It's a great place to start you journey around either Island as it avoids the busy road between Apia and the Airport. It's also a good place to stay on the first and last night of your visit.
Note that the International Airport is 45 minutes from Apia on the road leading to the ferry to Savaii. If you are planning to cycle Savaii or even just circumnavigate Upolu, it is better to stay at the Airport Lodge than taxi into Apia.
We can arrange transfers from the Airport to the Lodge.
Where to ride
Savaii is cycle tour heaven. Tour the island staying on a different beach most nights. Every night at a good swimming snorkelling beach, moderate riding distances, friendly people. Paradise.
