Having face paint and traditional head coverings made for a fun start of the evening and awesome pictures! Delicious food and nice show. It was interesting to see traditional way of food preparation. The food is all you can eat and everything we tried was very good. To be picked up and dropped off was very helpful, especially considering that the show ends around 11:30 pm.
Beautiful but expensive show passing by a provider ...

The show, the welcome, the atmosphere everything was perfect! On the other hand, the price of Viator is really too high compared to the service itself (price displayed on site if buying online ) and the return transport from the hotel (barely 10 minutes ) does not justify the 50 or 60 euros more ... sorry ...

They don't answer. They charged and have nothing to do with the restaurant. I had to pay again to get in.
Excellent and easy cultural experience

This was a fantastic experience with great explanations of the practices, culture, and dances. The food, drinks and service were all great. Another big positive for me as a solo traveler was how easy it was to enjoy this experience. I was picked up at the hotel, taken to the dinner and dances, and dropped back at my hotel soon after the event ended. Everyone was very friendly and polite, and I felt completely safe. This was one highlight of my trip to Rapa Nui, besides getting to see the ahu and Moai and learning the history.
Interesting dinner show

Great show however, dinner was not until after 9p and people pushed and shoved to get to the buffet. Really enjoyed the history and how potatoes were cooked. Dancing was fun.
Great show. Get your own transportation.

The show was great. The food good but not outstanding. Transportation leaves much room to improve. The first time we tried to go the ride never came. They rebooked us but still it was a wasted evening. The ride to the show on the rebook was on time. After the show the bus filled before we could get on and we waited half an hour for it to return.
Intermediary overpricing is not justified

The experience actually costs USD 80 if you pay the local and is a suitable price for an explanation of the curanto, dinner and show. Dinner is buffet and the queue was long to the point of being just starting dinner when the show left. Still enjoy it t is pretty. The problem is that for shared transfer, which takes a long time and the margin of the operator of this site, you pay more than double and that is not worth it at all when you see that everything is the same as the rest that I pay less than half.
Fun for the entire family
