Overview

Be awed by seeing the biggest and most impressive moai statues ever built by the ancient Easter Island civilisation. Visit fallen statues in the southwest, and see how they grow in size as we approach the eastern side of the island, where virtually all moai originated from.

Enjoying the personalised experience of having a guide of your own, you will have all the time in the world for questions, and you'll be able to have the tour adjust to your taste and liking.

The itinerary is highly optimised to visit the sites with best possible light conditions for photography, and with the least amount of crowds around.

Complement this with “Private Full-Day Easter Island Highlights North and West” to discover Easter Island in a complete, thorough manner, with all of its history, culture, legends and society. You may also book “2-Day Private Tour Easter Island Highlights Complete Discovery” instead, which includes both these tours.

Activity itinerary

Ahu Vinapu

  • 30m
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
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
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
This was one of the biggest village in ancient times. Here we can see many well-preserved foundations for houses, a cave and a big ahu platform with many fallen statues. Legends say that the great king Hotu Matu'a, who led the colonisation of this island, was buried here a thousand years ago.

Rano Raraku

  • 1h 40m
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

  • 45m
The biggest and most impressive monument of Rapa Nui with its 15 mighty moais.
