Anakena Beach
At the most beautiful beach of the island, the capital of the ancient society was located. In the sand stands a monument with the best preserved restored moais of the entire island. Quite recently they were dug up after centuries of having been buried in the sand. If interested in having a swim or enjoying some beach time, we suggest coming back on your own, as the tour will mainly focus on the archaeological and historical aspect of this area.
Ahu Te Pito Kura
The tallest moai that was ever successfully transported to its ahu can be found in this area. It was an amazing 9.9 m tall. Just like all other statues it was toppled in ancient times, and today it is still unrestored. There is also a round magnetic rock in this area that some say has magical properties.

very special place, very far - 5hours flight form santiago de chile, quite expensive. the island itself is not that beautiful. but the Moais, the archeology, the history, the mistery, the fresh tuna and shrimps are really special. 3 nights are more than enough. you take 1 full day tour. the next day the hanu raku and Orongo tour takes around 4-5 hours. and then the sun rise at the ahu tangarik. and you are almost done.

Alberto arranged four different tours for us during our visist to Ester Island. All were very good, as were the tour guides. There is lots to see on Rapa Nui, but we got to see alot thanks to Alberto and his team. We also apprecited his flexibility, as we had to change some of our plans.

It was 4 of us and our 2-year-old baby. The tour was private, guide came to the hotel even a bit earlier. The tour was brilliant! Interesting facts and stories about the island, warm atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Anyone heading to Rapa Nui, I highly recommend booking with Easter Island Travel for your excursions. They were so friendly, helpful, and educational. My husband and I did a full day private tour and a 1/2 day horse/cave tour. Both where amazing.
