Overview
Learn about how ancient Polynesians used the night sky to navigate as you gaze upon the night sky with this evening stargazing experience. You'll start by attending a presentation on Polynesian history and astronomy before venturing to an observation site. Here you'll get to check out stars and planets through telescopes and with the naked eye before a quick visit to Anakena Beach to do some night photography before returning to your hotel.

Beautiful skies
ywszeto, Mar 2025
The tour was great. The sky is beautiful and the pictures with the moai came out great. The tour is also educational as they have a presentation on the stars with the stargazing. My only complaint was that we were given less than an hour notice that the tour would be taking place that night as the tour operator had had to reschedule because of not enough people joining the tour on our original scheduled date. Other than the rescheduling everything else was very good.

Great experience. Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and the whole tour was well organized. Communication was great. We saw amazing night sky and our souvenir photograph was fabulous. And the best hot chocolate and cake that I have ever had!

Mauruuru <3 Tuhii makes the best hot chocolate :) Happy Travels!
Unreliable. Will cancel for no reason.

Unreliable.The guides cancelled the tour with the option to move it to the next day, which I took as I only had one more night left. Why they cancelled? No idea. Since last night was a clear night and other guests at the hotel with different guides did the tour. Avoid this company. Will update if today's tour happens - as who knows?
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Iorana Mahika, We're sorry we couldn't go on your dates. The forecast for both nights was bad, and we canceled due to poor weather. Our guides didn't go on any tours either night. We mentioned we'd update about the weather and we did. We try our best to communicate in a timely fashion whether we'll confirm or cancel the tour. Guides can only confirm the weather 1 hour before the tour as Rapa Nui weather is not consistent. When we cancel, we process a full refund or offer to reschedule if applicable. Again, we're sorry we couldn't do the tour on your dates. Happy Travels :)
