Description:
For keen mountain bikers and adventure-seekers this is a rewarding independent day trip cycling across the “Neck of the Dog” and a guided waterfall walk in North Malekula. From Lakatoro on the East Coast, the 12.5 kilometer cycle trail follows the road gradually climbing up to around 200 meters; then it’s an undulating ride across the plateau passing through local villages and gardens before a short and steep descent down to the cove at Losinwei. Your cycling efforts are rewarded by a lunch at Dram-Dram Bungalows, followed by a guided walk up the natural limestone cascades of the Losinwei River and a swim in the bush ‘spa’ pools before biking back to Lakatoro. |
PRICE: 7,800 VT per person (min 2 /maximum 6) Price includes bike hire, lunch, entrance fee and a guided tour of the waterfall. OVERNIGHT OPTION ALSO AVAILABLE! |
