Rapa Nui full day tour

Lucie M, Jul 2025

We did another tour with the same company to explore several key sites across the island, and it was just as excellent as the sunrise tour. Our guide, Javi, was fantastic—she’s part of the local council and brought an incredible depth of historical and cultural knowledge to the experience. She was friendly, engaging, and happy to answer all our questions. We stopped for refreshments along the way, and everything was really well-paced. Pickup and drop-off at our hotel made things super convenient. The views were absolutely stunning, and it was amazing to learn the stories and meaning behind the statues and the island’s history. A truly enriching experience—we’d highly recommend this tour!

Ahu Tongariki sunrise tour

Lucie_M, Jul 2025

We booked the sunrise tour to Ahu Tongariki the evening before, and the process was super easy. We were able to pay in Chilean pesos, and pickup from our hotel was right on time. Our guide, Tavi, was incredibly friendly, and made sure we had a great experience. One of our friends accidentally left her purse at the hotel, and Tavi kindly picked it up and brought it back to us. The views at sunrise were absolutely breathtaking—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this tour.
