North Coast of Easter Island: Full day Private Trekking Tour
Overview
Available languages
6 hours
Mobile ticket
Enjoy this trekking to the untouched coast. Visit caves, archeological platforms, and petroglyphs and discover how the islanders lived completely isolated from the rest of the Island.
The North coast is a place of settlement of the "Miru" clans, ancient descendants of the first King Hotu Matu'a, this sector is undoubtedly the one that remains mostly intact from the impact of man, its geographical location between the slopes of the highest volcano Terevaka and the West coast of Rapa Nui allows it to be the setting that even in these times transports us to the desolate past of Rapa Nui.
In this hiking, it is possible to see how animals that freely graze the surroundings and the archaeological remains that are preserved as in the past combine.
It is only possible to access this sector on foot or horseback.
This trekking will end up in Anakena, an ancient royal settlement characteristic of its white sands, turquoise waters, and palm trees

What To Expect
Ahu Te Peu
Ahu Te Peu is an area with a high archeological value. Since it hasn’t been restored it is possible to observe the site exactly as the old inhabitants who, after internal wars, knocked down the moais left it. There used to be a village there. In fact, you can see the biggest boathouse or hare paenga in the island, which is 43 metres long and is called Tore Tahuna which, according to tradition, belonged to the famous Ariki Tu’u Ko Ihu. In front of the village, there are two ahu or ceremonial platforms, the biggest of which has a back wall with huge well assembled blocks with 4 knocked down moais.
Easter Island
MA'IRAKI TE MOA: The Ma'ítaki te Moa sector has a unique "Ahu" ceremonial platform, with a rear wall of large stones with precise cuts between stones that speak of the high level and experience in the construction of the ancient Rapa Nui who inhabited the area. Inserted into the same platform as another stone is a unique Moai made of a different material from the 98% of the Moai that were built in the Rano Raraku quarry, among other archaeological features scattered around the place.

5.00I booked two tours with Kava Kava on my long anticipated visit and the second tour was the private all day north coast trekking. Communication from Kava Kava was excellent for both tours. We were paired with the most amazing guide, Tokerau for both tours. On the morning of the second tour I came down with a sore throat and ultimately decided I wasn’t feeling well enough for an all day trek. Instead of cancelling completely, Tokerau created a custom low activity tour for us that turned out incredible! He picked us up in the afternoon and we visited some lesser known sites where we got some great photos. The highlight of the tour was that Tokerau brought us a delicious lunch of grilled chicken sandwiches with caramelized onions made by his girlfriend, and we sat on a hill in a forested area and watched the sun set over the ocean while Tokerau played his guitar and sang us three songs in the native Rapa Nui language. Tokerau really went above and beyond to make sure I had a meaningful day even though I was not feeling well enough to do the full north coast trek. Tokerau is a truly professional guide and a wonderful person. We will never forget him. We took the tour in Spanish but he also offers tours in English.
