By the end of the tour, you won’t just have visited Rapa Nui — you’ll understand it. You’ll return with insights, stories, and a sense of place that few travellers ever gain — practically an expert on this fascinating island.

Activity itinerary

Day 1: Journey of Legends: North and West
  • 7 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Not included
Anakena Beach
  • 50m
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
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
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.
Puna Pau
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
Small volcano where the red scoria stone was quarried for the moai statue topknots - the so called pukao. All of the moai statue pukaos come from this place.
Ahu Akivi
  • 25m
  • Admission ticket not included
The only monument with moais that are looking out towards the sea. Some say that these statues were built to represent the first seven settlers that arrived to Easter Island a thousand years ago.
Ahu Tahai
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The tribesmen of this village were remarkably ambitious and hard-working. They raised several statues at three different ahu platforms. A ramp was made to enter the ocean from within the area.
Rano Kau
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
The crater of volcano Rano Kau is one of the most stunning views of the whole island. Its crater lake was one of the most important sources of drinking water in ancient times.
Orongo
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket not included
Ceremonial stone village dedicated to the birdman competition, located at the ridge of volcano Rano Kau. From within Orongo we will have a fantastic view of the crater of this volcano.
Day 2: Megaliths: South and East
  • 6 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Not included
Ahu Vinapu
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The most perfectly fit rock wall, Ahu Tahira, is found in this area. It was engineered with such skill that many draw conclusions on contact with the Inca Empire.
Ahu Vinapu
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Hanga Poukura: Close to Vinapu we have the area of Hanga Poukura. This is a beautiful coastal area of interesting, rough lava rock formations has several unique features. Several statues are in a strange and mysterious manner buried in a line, with only the backs being visible. The ahu is one of the most well-made ever with blocks that are cut for a better fit. Hanga Poukura area also has an amazing natural phenomena that has been occurring constantly since this these areas were created by lava flows almost a million years ago - a blowhole. The blowhole of Hanga Poukura is one of the best ones of Rapa Nui, and when the ocean is right, water will spurt up into the air as waves come in.
Ahu Vaihu
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
This area has a replica of an ancient village built up in modern times. We will be able to see examples of how ancient plantation techniques work, and we will have the opportunity to enter replicas of the ancient "boat houses" that were used hundreds of years ago.
Ahu Akahanga
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
Feel the presence of history as you walk among the ruins of one of Rapa Nui’s largest ancient villages. Explore boat-shaped house foundations, earth ovens, and a massive ceremonial platform where moai statues still lie toppled. A second, unrestored ahu nearby holds 13 statues of varying sizes — a powerful reminder of the island’s past. According to legend, this sacred site is also the burial place of the island’s first king - Hotu Matu'a.
Rano Raraku
  • 1h 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
The volcano that was converted into a mass production factory of gigantic megaliths. Virtually all statues were carved here. One day the workers stopped, and the hundreds of statues that were left behind haven't moved since.
Ahu Tongariki
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
The largest monument on Easter Island, Ahu Tongariki features 15 massive moai standing proudly against the ocean backdrop. Once toppled by an earthquake and swept inland by a tsunami, these giants were restored to their original glory — a breathtaking symbol of Rapa Nui’s strength, history, and spiritual legacy.
