The Diego Suarez to Cap Diego bike ride takes about 5 hours, allowing for many stops to enjoy the magnificent views onto the bay and hinterland. The road offers all kinds of condition: small gravel, large gravel, dirt road, old asphalt road or a simple trail. At some sections the road is impassable and it is better to push the bike. Depending on the season, the weather can be very hot and windy.
<!--Why not indulge in a bit of luxury after a long and likely hot bike ride by chilling at the pool of the newly built [[Hotel de la Poste Ocean]] after checking into one of their rooms facing the ocean with a magnificent view over the bay?-->
