Overview

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.

Activity itinerary

Anakena Beach

1h

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 colonising 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

1h
Admission ticket not included

Orongo is a ceremonial village perched dramatically on the edge of the Rano Kau crater. It was the centre 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.

Rano Raraku

1h 30m
Admission ticket not included

Walk among giants and awe-inspiring traces of the past in Rano Raraku — the volcanic quarry where almost all of the island’s moai were carved. The entire hillside is scattered with statues in various stages of completion — some still partially buried, others frozen mid-creation. This is where the ancient sculptors worked for centuries, shaping the stone giants that would be transported across the island. It’s a haunting and awe-inspiring landscape that feels like the workshop of a lost civilisation.

Ahu Tongariki

45m
Admission ticket not included

Stand face to face with the island’s most iconic monument at Ahu Tongariki — a grand ceremonial platform lined with 15 towering moai. These massive stone figures once watched over the island's eastern shores, and today they remain a powerful symbol of Rapa Nui’s cultural legacy. The site was devastated by a tsunami in the 1960s, but carefully restored in the 1990s, bringing the majestic lineup back to life against a dramatic coastal backdrop.
