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.

Private Full-Day Easter Island Highlights North and West

Mitch_E, Sep 2026

Great day with Yeni

Yeni was my tour leader today on a solo tour of the moai, and she was fabulous. From the moment I stepped into her car she was 100% flexible with my thoughts on the day and made the itinerary feel completely personal. She is full of knowledge and brought the sites to life without ever making it feel like a lecture. We covered a lot of ground — Ahu Te Pito Kura, Puna Pau, Ahu Akivi, Ahu Tahai, and Rano Kau — plus a stop at the local Catholic church. The pacing never felt rushed. A highlight was stopping at a roadside bakery for fresh empanadas — simple, delicious, and a perfect break in the day. I would love to leave some pictures, but Viator will not allow me. If you are traveling solo or just want a guide who actually listens and adapts, book Yeni. Highly recommended.

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. ❤️🌺

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
