Once we've arrived at the hillside of the volcano, you can choose between hiking or riding a horse up to the summit. Little by little, we'll start ascending to the top of Terevaka to enjoy some of the most spectacular panoramic views. Photo moment!
As we traverse the volcanic landscape, we'll learn about the geological history of Terrevaka. This is fundamental to understanding the formation of Easter Island! Finally, we'll return to the hotel after between 3 and 5 hours.
Boat Tour around Hanga Roa
After being collected from your accommodation, we'll make our way to the Hanga Roa Harbour, the island capital, and hop abroad on a traditional Rapanui boat. Just for us!

We'll navigate towards the extinct Rano Kau Volcano, located in the very south of the island. At its feet, we'll see an archipelago formed by 3 islets: Motu Kao Kao, Motu Iti and Motu Nui, the latter being the largest. During the journey, we'll admire the imposing cliffs on the southern part of Easter Island, and even make a stop to take a dip in the water and practice some snorkelling.
Finally, we'll return to the Hanga Roa pier and make our way back to the hotels after between 4 and 6 hours.
Ahu Tongariki Sunrise Tour
We'll collect you from your hotel and make our way to Ahu Tongariki before sunrise. We'll discover why this is one of the most impressive archaeological sites on Rapa Nui.
Once at Ahu Tongariki, we'll see the first rays of the sun hit Easter Island. Here, we'll witness one of the most beautiful moments of the day on this Chilean island, when the sun emerges from behind the majestic moai.
This spectacular view, with the Pacific Ocean in the background, will offer us the opportunity to relax and enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of this sunrise. This seems like the perfect time to take a photo, right?
Finally, after between 2 and 3 hours, we'll return to your hotel on Easter Island.
Ahu Akivi, Puna Pau & Ana Te Pahu Tour

We'll dive into the impressive Ana Te Pahu, a cave approximately 4.34 m (7 km) long that served as a refuge and home for the ancestors who inhabited the island. Here, you'll discover the fascinating cave paintings as we soak in the rich history of this site.
Our next stop will take us to Ahu Akivi, the sacred place where you'll find seven famous moai sculptures. We'll share the legend that says that this site is a place that honors the explorers who discovered Rapa Nui, who departed from the island of Hiva. You'll learn all about the first settlers.
The private tour will continue toward Puna Pau, a small crater where the pequeño cráter donde se forjaban los pukaos are carved, enigmatic sculptures carved in volcanic rock that can be seen over some of the moai heads.
