Easter Island and Anakena Beach Trip

After collecting you from your hotel at the indicated time, we'll start our tour of Easter Island traveling along the East coast.

First, we visit the archaeological site of Ahu Akahanga, where you'll see the remains of a settlement and the tomb of King Hotu Matu'a. Your guide will share the story of this king, key to understanding the local history.

Our next stop is Ahu Tongariki, the largest sanctuary on Easter Island. Here, 15 moai were restored after being destroyed during the tribal wars of the 18th century. You can now admire these moai, returned to the platform, as they once were in the Rapanui culture.

Next, we'll travel to the volcanic crater of Rano Raraku, where most of the moai on the island were sculpted. We will discover the unfinished moai scattered around this area, including one nicknamed ‘El Gigante’ (The Giant), which would have measured 70 feet high and weighed around 270 tonnes when finished.

After exploring, we’ll enjoy lunch in Rano Raraku with over 390 moai statues surrounding us. You can bring your own food or opt for the picnic option that includes a sandwich, hard-boiled egg, nuts, cereal bar, fruit, and a bottle of mineral water.

Next, we will visit the smaller sanctuary of Ahu Te Pito Kura before reaching Anakena beach to admire the moai of Ahu Nau Nau and enjoy the white sand. The tour concludes after seven hours with a return to your hotel.

Entrance to Rapa Nui National Park
