Our guide David was excellent and very informative. However it is disingenuous to call it a two full day tour as on the second day we were picked up about 10am and dropped back to the hotel by 2.30pm.
The caves are very slippery underfoot and not suitable for anyone with mobility issues
Stefania_A, Apr 2026
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.

Loved the knowledge and care the guides had for these sites as well as for the well-being of the people in the tour - they tru to cater to your photography needs as best as they can!
Francis_F, Mar 2026
This trip was great. The first day was filled with Moai and the second a bit off the beaten path exploring some caves and farmland. Although there was a bit of an issue with the sunrise tour the company handled it professionally which was greatly appreciated. Would definitely recommend to see the max on your Easter Island adventure.
Ron_P, Mar 2026
Great experience and Vincent was a
superb guide. Some of the information in the instructions were confusing and the tour felt a little disorganized when our group was split up on the second day and vehicles had to be changed mid trip to accommodate more guests. Also waiting outside in the sun for 45 minutes for pick ups wasn’t a pleasant situation.
Overall though everything worked out okay in the end, and this was a great way to see the island and learn the history of this unique place.
Louise_A, Feb 2026
The guides were all so knowledgeable about all aspects of Rapa Nui, we loved hearing all the information they provided. Vehicles were all clean and roadworthy and arrived within the allocated time frame. Would 100% recommend.
Antonio_A, Jan 2026
Outstanding tour. Always on schedule, very comfortable bus. The 2 guides were very good!!!! The locations were breathtaking!!! Highly recommend to use this tour company when you visit Rapa Naui
AMANDA_S, Jan 2026
The tours guides were excellent. Knowledgeable, passionate and fun. They know their history and enjoy sharing it. The sunrise was magical!
Johnathan_D, Jan 2026
This group tour takes you to all major sites on the island. The guides know the history well and are quite friendly. But remember, this is still a large group tour of 12-16 people. With this packed schedule, you’ll be rushed at each site. There won’t be enough time to enjoy staring at the Moai while also taking good pictures without its of people in it.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you very much for sharing your experience and for your kind words about our guides and the historical explanations, we truly appreciate that
Group tours on the island are designed to allow visitors to see all the main archaeological sites within the available visiting hours, and with groups of 12–16 people and different walking and photo-taking rhythms, the time at each stop must be organized so that everyone can complete the full route as promised. Our main focus is always that guests can visit all the sites included in the itinerary and receive the full cultural and archaeological information at each place.
For travelers who prefer to move at a slower pace, spend more time taking photos, or enjoy the sites more calmly and with fewer people around, we always recommend choosing a private tour. This option is available with us and is clearly published on all of our sales platforms, so guests can choose the experience that best fits their travel style and expectations from the start.
For us, the most important thing is that every traveler can choose the type of tour that best suits their needs, so they can truly enjoy their time on Rapa Nui
We’re very grateful you chose to travel with us and for taking the time to leave your feedback
Russell_F, Jan 2026
We liked the all in one purchase for the 2 1/2 day tour package the included stops to all the major sites on Easter island. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We recommend this package.
Julie_W, Jan 2026
Fantastic! Organised, great communication before and during tour days, excellent guides (David is extremely passionate about Rapa Nui and sharing his knowledge.) So glad I did this tour. Worth the money.
Mateusz_W, Nov 2025
Really insightful and highly recommended. You visit absolutely all the important places. Many occasions for "National Geographic photos".
Especially first day is amazing, second is still nice, but not as strong as the first one. Sunrise is a nice addition, but depends on the weather conditions.
Nero was a really great guide - because of his family background and his deep interest in Rapa Nui culture, he was able to provide us with insights that you can't learn anywhere else. It's clear he is really passionate about showing the island to people and that make the tour so great.
ALAN_B, Oct 2025
Excellent choice to experience the main attractions in Rapa Nui. This 2.5-days activity fits them all, and it was complimented by a great guide, Esteban who made the experience even more entertaining. Highly recommended !!
Anne_C, Sep 2025
This is a highlight of the island. It was an adventure and lesson in history. Guides Esteban and Andres are very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Ashley_F, Sep 2025
The tour does cover most of the highlights of the island. Guides were professional and pointed out a ton of history. The agency was really great to communicate with. I asked a MILLION questions and I swear I changed my dates 5 times and the agency was polite and friendly throughout all the communications. Seriously I was a tough customer because I was so excited for this trip and wanted to make sure I was picking the best agencies. I am grateful for their patience with me. This tour should be your first stop on the island because it gives you such a great foundation for everything else you will see on the island. The guides are different from day to day. Ata is literally the best tour guide ever in all of the tours I have ever taken around the world so if you get him it is such a special treat. The guide on the sunrise tour knew the best spots to watch sunrise based on the time of the morning and time of the year. The experience added to the magic of the sunrise. Make sure you bring snacks because lunch is not available during the tour though one day a guide took us to literally the best empanada spot on the island (compared to the other 4 places I tried). Make sure you bring plenty of water and layers to put on/off throughout the day. The weather changes quickly so a winter hat and an umbrella can make you very comfortable (sun and rain protection). I kept my bookbag in the van with my extra gear.
Daniel_M, Sep 2025
The tour was simply amazing! Very complete, covering all the most important spots on the island with excellent organization. The guides Esteban and Joaquin were outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and provided detailed explanations that made the experience even more meaningful.
We also had enough time at each stop to truly take in the atmosphere and absorb the energy of each place, without feeling rushed. A well-rounded and enriching experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!
electriceelong, Aug 2025
Esteban was an exceptional guide. Explaining the history of Moai with such clarity and historical context. He speaks with a very lucid neutral accent that is understandable by all.
Erik_C, Jun 2025
This tour visited all the most important sites and even more. Our guide was local native and extremely knowledgeable and experienced.
Chay_Y, May 2025
This is a 2.5 days tour, although they are separate day to day tour so you get a mix of new tour mates. Weather was bad on our first day, and I would have preferred if the guide had altered our itinerary to fit in the top highlight when the weather was still good in the morning (which is also per weather forecast), as we ended up being caught in the middle of a major thunderstorm when we reached Rano Raraku (which is the highlight of the trip as well as a single entry attraction) and that really was a disappointment. Of course, having said that, weather forecast is not reliable at all in Easter Island, and the guide was probably doing his best.
Other than that, the first day was great, and we learned a lot (the guide was very very very informative, which also meant he spent A LOT of time at the less popular sites in the morning giving us a lot of background). The 2 days tour does seem a little imbalanced, as the second day tour was rather short and one can probably do everything in 1.5 days. Of course if one is spending 4 days on the island, there are plenty of time to chill, so the itinerary works well too. We managed to squeeze in another night dance show as well.
Sunrise tour on the last day was good, except that they do rushed us back as soon as the sun rise over the horizon. Would probably be nice to be able to linger a little after the sun has risen too.
Overall, will still recommend this tour.
Taichi_Y, May 2025
They told us about the hosiery of the island in details and precisely, it really helped me understand easter island. They were so friendly and easy to question.
You will go almost all the places in the island, so you don’t need to worry, just follow them and listen.
Lindsay_G, Apr 2025
Difficult to review! What we saw was really awesome and our guide was really knowledgeable - but he perhaps gave too much information. Others on the trip felt the same as us whilst others thought he was amazing! We are tourists and we wanted the key facts - we wanted to know where we were, how long we would be there and the key information - our guide said he wasn’t a tour guide but a researcher and that showed. It was 2 days and on the second day because there were some new people interested he started to repeat information from Day one and really focussed on them. It started to suck the life out of it a bit but as I said, not everyone felt that way and he was a nice guy - very passionate about the true history of Rapa Nui - the Moai and Birdman cultures, the DNA/origin of the Rapa Nui people and the drought which led to there being no trees. He made it clear that the culture has previously been interpreted through the eyes of those not seeing it properly but applying Western thinking - the wrong lense! I think he would have been good if it was a private tour for those who wanted to know everything! For some a little overwhelming. In the end I just wandered away and let myself soak up the atmosphere. I wish there had been less talking and more time at the beach too. The sunrise is spectacular! The matter is really just transport to the site which is all that is needed as you’ve visited and had the info about it previously. Both days were from 10-5 and the sunrise was 5.30 - 9.
Lynn_B, Apr 2025
Great experience with amazing guide Esteban who is super knowledgeble and interesting to listen to. All of the sites visited did not disappoint. This tour is a must especially if you have limited time as it saves the hassle of checking where you need a guide and where you dont. The two days covers the highlights of the island. Esteban knew exactly when to hit each site to avoid crowding and ensure the best photo ops. Shout out to our patient driver Raphael and Nico for getting up early to take us to see the sunrise! Highly recommend this tour!
ywszeto, Mar 2025
We had 2 different guides both days but both were fantastic. The tour is just enough information and you definitely got the highlights of the island. The sunrise tour on the 3rd day was basically just transport - no guide service but you didn’t really need it since it’s a sight that you already went to on the other days. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review!
We're truly happy to hear that you enjoyed both tours and that our guides helped make your experience memorable. It's wonderful to know that you felt the information and highlights were just right, we always aim to create a balance between learning and enjoying.
As for the sunrise tour, you're absolutely right, it's more about the breathtaking moment itself, and we're glad you had the chance to witness that magic.
Thank you for recommending us, it means the world to our team. We hope to see you again on this special island someday!

Trip was pretty good, there were some delays with pickup time. Also felt very rushed at beach. Would be better to have had more time there. Generally a good tour, but could use a few tweaks.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Iorana Christopher!
Thank you so much for your honest feedback and for joining us on this journey through Rapa Nui!
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour overall, and we truly appreciate your suggestions. We apologize for the delay during pick-up, we always aim to coordinate everything as smoothly as possible and will continue working to improve that experience.
Regarding the beach visit, we completely understand your wish for more time there. It’s important to mention that the stop at Anakena is designed mainly as a cultural visit, as it holds deep historical significance for our island. Only when the weather and itinerary allow, we extend time for guests to enjoy a swim, but this isn’t always guaranteed, as our priority is to deliver a well-rounded and enriching tour within the available time.
We’re grateful for your comments, as they help us improve and continue sharing the best of Rapa Nui. We hope you take with you beautiful memories and that you come back to visit us again one day!
Iorana, Mauru'uru

This is a great tour. Very well organized. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history and a big myth buster. :) This is also one of the few tours that covers the island for 2 days and the sunrise at Tongariki. Also, the tour management is very accommodative and flexible to cater to my requests. Greatly appreciate it and highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2025

Your kind words really mean a lot, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure.
Safe travels, and see you soon!

Physically challenging at times. A lot of walking on uneven ground and steps. Tour guide was great. Spoke excellent english.
David_N, Feb 2025
Good experience, tour guide is friendly and we go thru all the sites according to schedule in timely matter
Lauren_O, Feb 2025
Really enjoyed our day with Bruno! Excellent information and was very enthusiastic about Easter Islands history! Second day was also good but hard to hear in the bus when the guide was speaking as we were in the back.
Robert_P, Feb 2025
We did the 2 days tour. For our first day tour, which was very wet, we visited a variety of places with our wonderful guide Esteban, who made the trip fun and very informative despite the weather. His enthusiasm and knowledge kept morale high and fun. He was also very communicative during pick up time and his English was excellent. Thankfully our second day was sunny and we were guided by Nero, also a very good guide, who shared lots of information about the places and his family connections to their history. Nero also had a great level of English. Both drivers and vans were great. The communication with the tour operater was easy and efficient. We had a fantastic time. Thank you all.
Stephanie_H, Feb 2025
Esteban is an incredible guide, we had an amazing couple of days learning so much about the island. For us - day one was a highlight, it was full of archeological sites, moai, historical information and beautiful locations. We were very happy to have Esteban on day 2 as well!!
Regarding the tour itinerary, be aware that the full days are shorter than you might think. 10am - 4pm on the first day and 10am - 2pm on the second day for our tour. In our opinion the second day was underwhelming compared to day one and we felt like it could have covered off one more thing to make it feel fuller / longer.
