Mountain Biking
Cycling is not popular here since hills are steep and
roads have plenty of potholes and few shoulders.
Your best bet is to join
Water Island Adventures
on its cycling tour of this pristine island. The ad-
venture lasts half a day. The “bike bus” takes you to
the highest point on the island and you cycle down around
WWII forts, flower-filled hillsides and onto Honeymoon
Beach. Ferry fare, helmets, 18-speed bikes, water and a
guide are included in the $60 fee. The trip starts at Crown
Bay Marina.
