“Our guide cancelled the tour less than 2 hours before the 8 pm start, blaming the weather. The weather was nice and the stars were bright. Seeing the stars with a local was one of the main reasons we went to the island. Very disappointed she didn’t feel like doing a tour that night.”

“Good and comprehensive tour of all the tourist spots in the island. The guides were very good, prompt, knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. The third day of the tour is watching the sunrise behind the Moais in Tongariki and the this tour finished at 9am. You therefore get a free day after this tour. The dinner and show got cancelled during the time of my visit because of the Tapati Festival. However, the tour provider was very quick to replace it with an activity of my choice.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · 2 hours · from $100

Carve a wooden moai with Rapa Nui artist Joaquin Rapu in a private two-hour class, then take home a one-of-a-kind island souvenir.

“This was a truly unique experience for us on Rapa Nui. We misunderstood and thought we would be creating our own moai, but it was still an awesome experience. Joaquin was warm and welcoming, and was patient with my broken Spanish. The activity only creates one moai, so we were able to purchase a second so that we each had one to take home!”

Stargaze beside Rapa Nui moai, learn Polynesian navigation, use a telescope, and enjoy hot chocolate on this intimate three-hour night tour.

“Overall, it’s a good tour but it wasn’t much to do. We spent good amount of time with the telescope but not much going on that night. I like that we had pictures taking in front of the Moai statues. All is good but not worth the cost.”
