Explore the soul of Easter Island in just one day. Visit the island’s most legendary sites — moai-studded slopes, ancient villages, volcanic craters, and white-sand beaches — all in a private tour designed to make every minute count.

Start at Anakena Beach, where palm trees frame some of the island’s best-preserved moai. Then head to Orongo, the cliffside ceremonial village overlooking a vast volcanic crater. Walk among unfinished statues at the quarry of Rano Raraku, and end at Ahu Tongariki, where 15 majestic moai stand guard by the sea.

What To Expect

Anakena Beach

Stunning Anakena is our only big sandy beach, and is also of high historic value. This is where our first king Hotu Matu'a arrived a thousand years ago when colonizing the island. Palmtrees and beautifully carved ancient moai statues decorate the landscape. The statues of the main monument, Ahu Nau-Nau, were buried in the sand for centuries, and were recently dug up when restored a few decades ago, so they are among the most well-preseved statues of the island. We go here mainly for historic and photographic purposes, but if you want to have a quick swim, please feel free to.

Orongo

Orongo is a ceremonial village perched dramatically on the edge of the Rano Kau crater. It was the center of the unique Birdman cult, where a dangerous annual competition determined leadership on the island. Dozens of restored stone houses and intricate petroglyphs reveal the spiritual and political importance of the site. From within Orongo, we’ll have a stunning view of the volcanic crater of Rano Kau — by far the largest on Easter Island. Its freshwater lake was once an essential source of drinking water for the island’s ancient inhabitants.
