Golden Hour Horseback Ride on Easter Island – Scenic Experience

The top of the island is a place with privileged views, so it has an important flow of tourists at the usual times. We offer to ride to the highest of the island at sunset, a time when you will feel that there is no one but you on the whole island. Silence is part of the natural spectacle. And to get there, we ride in the middle of the forest and meadows, where it is very difficult to bump into other people. A feeling of being in the middle of the wild, revives the soul of the island.

What are people saying about Easter Island

Suzanne_R, Jul 2026

Excellent experience in Rapa Nui

The entire experience from pick up to drop off was AMAZING! Our guide Simon was extremely knowledgeable of the Rapa Nui culture as he is a direct descendant. Every question we asked, he answered, and clarified some of the theories. He took his time and made sure we were OK at every site. NOT rushed at all. The tour had lunch option included which was good. Highly recommend.

Moai and polynesian beauty!

We enjoyed seeing the various Moai, Anakena Beach, and the quarry; and did not feel too rushed. The tour ended up being about 6 hours and not 8-9 hours (unsure if it was because of our group size or what). Isabel (our guide) and Rafa (our driver) were great. Isabel is a Rapa Nuian and getting the history from her was special. Heads up to remember to bring a lunch and snacks as given where you are on the island, there aren't really any restaurants. So when it says "lunch not included" on the description, it doesn't just mean you're paying for yourself but to bring your own lunch.

2 Day Private Tour: Easter Island’s Cultural Heritage

Amazing guided tour of Rapa Nui

Don’t hesitate - just book this tour!!! My 12 year old son and I came from Michigan (USA) to see this magical place, and I wanted a private tour so that we would have a more personalized experience. It was such a fantastic experience!!! And after talking to some of the other travelers we met while in Rapa Nui, unfortunately not everyone had such a great experience with their guides. But our guide Joaquin not only grew up in Rapa Nui, but he was extremely knowledgeable about every little detail about the island - both historical and current events -so we learned so much more than just the history of the moai. Most importantly to me, he made it very interesting for my 12 year old son… and he kept my son engaged by asking him questions and playing chess with him at lunch, etc. Joaquin was truly such a kind person and I have no doubt that he has left a lasting impression on both myself and my son. He also spoke excellent English and was a very good driver. He personalized the 2 day experience according to our interests and also modified the order of things according to the changing weather (we only experienced some light rain- but Joaquin made sure that we saw the things we wanted to photograph the most while the sun was out ). He chose great spots for us to have lunch on both days. Several other guides that we came across saw us with him and said to us “oh you are lucky - you have the best guide!” We definitely agreed with those other guides! The island is such a special place, and I am so grateful that we had such an amazing guide to make it such an unforgettable and amazing experience. I know this is a bit more money than the group tours, but you really do get what you pay for. With this private tour, you get to avoid the group vans which take longer to get everyone on and off … and you can personalize the tour as much as you want. I feel this was much more relaxing and enjoyable than doing a group tour. But again, the very best part was our amazing guide Joaquin!

Culture and historic tour of Rapa Nui

If you are looking to learn more about the history and culture of Rapa Nui, this is a great excursion to get a taste. This is a half day tour and a great opportunity to see the main sights of the island. Also shout out to Kino (tour guide) for being very kind and knowledgeable about the history of the island, and also to Estevan (driver) for also being very nice!

A professional tour despite in the rain

Eva the lady guide speaks very good English and has been very patient. She and the driver looked after us well and made sure she explained in English to us and another Frence gentleman. Despite her forgot to bring drinking water, she spoke throughout the entire journey and was not stingy to share information whilst answering questions even in the rains. The whole tour was not eishoat all.

The Rapa Nui Stargazing Experience

Natallia_P, Apr 2026

Very romantic and magical

This tour is very special, and unfortunately doesn’t happen without many variables being aligned perfectly. Weather, Moon, clouds - everything should be perfect. We got incredibly lucky, because we booked the tour for the very last night in the Island, and everything aligned perfectly! The tour was absolutely fantastic!!! Don’t remember myself enjoying a tour this much ❤️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 We got amazing photos! Thank you!

Rapa Nui Stargazing

Karen_T, Apr 2026

Highly recommended night experience

Highly recommend this experience on Rapa Nui. The Milky Way, zillions of stars, constellations, and galaxies are visible. We were taken to two locations on the island--one where we looked through telescopes and enjoyed hot chocolate and a snack, the other where the maoi were silhouetted by starlight and the ocean. Magical...

Golden Hour Horseback Ride on Easter Island – Scenic Experience

Dave_B, Apr 2026

Outstanding Experience.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We went out with just one other couple and Alice (owner) and her partner. The horse I rode was very responsive and well trained. Since everyone was pretty comfortable on horseback, we did some trotting and cantering. Getting to the highest point is a beautiful ride and once you’re there it’s amazing. It’s one of the few places on earth where you can do a 360 and see the curvature of the Earth everywhere. So, not recommended for flat-earthers. ;) Sunset from this vantage point is beautiful, especially if it’s a night like the one we went out on where there is some cloud cover, but not a lot. You can hike the trail on foot if you want, and we saw some people doing that, but nothing compares to doing it on horseback. Like anywhere in Chile, knowing some Spanish is helpful, but the owners at least have a working knowledge of English so you’re OK either way.

Two days of Full Day Tour of Rapa Nui + Sunrise in Tongariki

Stefania_A, Apr 2026

Great experience with the most important sites on the island

Very well structured and it includes the best sites on the island. only thing i would clarify a little bit - the second day with the visit at the caves is that you go in and it may not be suited for elderly people or with people with low mobility. but the rest of the visits are perfect as they are. You need to have the park entrance fee paid in advance in order to visit all the sites (can be booked online or on the spot at the tourism desk in the city center). Bring water and snacks as on spot there are no shops. And don't forget about sun screen with high SPF and mosquito repellent.

An amazing experience

Meeting Eteanne and having the opportunity for him to tell us, his island was one of the highlights of our entire trip in Chile. We can’t thank him enough for giving us his kindness, wisdom, and experience of a lifetime.. he is one of the best tour experiences that we have ever had. Thank you from the bottom of our heart Sand and Fred ❤️❤️❤️.

Private Tour: Tongariki Sunrise Experience

Adele_S, Mar 2026

A great tour with the ability to adjust.

I highly recommend this tour - it was sensational. Having the private guide meant we could adjust as I wanted without worrying about anyone else. This meant I could see things that the other tours didnt. My guide, Isabel was very good - friendly, warm and knowledgable. Altogether, I thought the private tour was worth the premium of the mass tours.
