An Incredible Horseback Ride to the Top of Rapa Nui
An Incredible Horseback Ride to the Top of Rapa Nui As someone traveling alone on Rapa Nui, this horseback ride was one of the highlights of my trip. My guide, Memo with Adventure Terevaka, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the ride. The 2½-hour ride began by taking me through a huge eucalyptus forest. The forest was incredibly peaceful, and the smell of the eucalyptus trees was amazing. Eucalyptus was introduced to Easter Island as a fast-growing source of timber, and extensive plantings eventually created these large forests that are so striking against the island’s normally open landscape. After leaving the forest, we traveled across beautiful rolling hills and open countryside, gradually making our way to Terevaka, the highest point on Easter Island. Riding through the middle of the island, away from the crowds and surrounded by such incredible scenery, gave me a wonderful feeling of being completely immersed in Rapa Nui. As I descended, the sun was setting, and the views became absolutely spectacular. It was a beautiful and peaceful way to experience the island. And I have to mention my horse! His name is the Spanish word for “wind,” and he was great—calm, dependable, and a wonderful companion for the afternoon. Traveling alone, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. A beautiful afternoon, an incredible landscape, a great horse, and an excellent guide. I highly recommend Memo and Adventure Terevaka! I wanted to add pictures, but Viator will not allow me.

Incredible Day
Today was my first full day on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and what a day it was. I took a Viator tour led by Bie, a multi-generational Rapa Nui woman whose gentle voice and deep connection to nature made the history come alive. She shared stories passed down through her family for generations, and my soul was truly filled. We began by exploring ancient volcanic caves, including Ana Te Pahu, where natural openings, water and humidity created fertile places for growing bananas and other crops. The caves also provided shelter and refuge. We saw the foundations of ancient hare paenga—stone houses shaped like overturned canoes. The carefully fitted lava stones had holes where wooden supports were secured. Bie said that when her ancestors first arrived, they used their boats as roofs for their homes, and over time they became almost obsessed with that familiar shape. Then we visited Ahu Akivi and its seven moai, traditionally believed to represent the seven Polynesian explorers who came to Rapa Nui ahead of King Hotu Matu'a. They are unusual because they face toward the sea and, symbolically, toward Polynesia. We also visited an unrestored site where fallen moai and their pukao still lie scattered across the landscape. Bie explained that the moai represented ancestors and served as protectors and guardians of their clans. During conflicts, destroying a rival clan's moai would have been a powerful symbolic blow. We ended at Orongo, a sacred ceremonial village perched on the rim of the enormous Rano Kau volcano. Bie showed us the ancient stone houses and told stories of births, warriors and the famous Birdman ceremonies. Standing on the rim of the volcano that helped create this island was simply breathtaking. It was a day filled with ancient stories, incredible stonework, volcanic landscapes, and a culture that is still alive today. I am exhausted—but my soul is very full. ❤️🌺

Excellent guides and...
Excellent guides and trip. Start between 9:30-10:30 and end around 3-4:00 on the afternoon. Lunch happens during driving then you have an early evening to enjoy Hanga Roa for example or visit Atu Tahai for example (accessible easily by foot from everywhere in Hanga Roa)

Even Better the Second Time!!!!!
This is the second time we have done this tour - and it was just as extraordinary as it was 2 years ago (you can see my original review dated June 2024). We were very honored to have Joaquin as our guide again. He did such an amazing job on showing us around the Island. And doing this a second time was so much fun absorbing all the details Joaquin shared. Don't think about it - just do it and make sure to ask for Joaquin if he is available.
