    Great tour!

    Salina_H, May 2026
    We had a great experience on the Moai Trail Tour today. Our guide was excellent and shared so much interesting history about the island, the Moai, and the culture of Rapa Nui. Even though the weather was extremely windy, the tour was still enjoyable and very informative. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history of the island, which made the experience even better. We really appreciated learning not just about the Moai themselves, but also about the traditions and stories behind them. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Easter Island.

    Fantastic Day experiencing Rapa Nui and learning about the history of the Moai.

    This was the best possible way to experience and learn from a wonderful guide Aranui. He was perfect for a young 9 year old boy, an adult, and 2 seniors! Just know that in addition to the fee, you each need National Parks tickets. He helped us to get them.

    It was a very good...

    It was a very good introduction to the moai and the island. Mixed with legends and stories. The pick-up could have been communicated better, e.g. via WhatsApp. They collected other participants before me and I waited for 45 min without knowing if the tour is taking place. But once it started, it was great :-)

    Rapa Nui Disappointment

    Paul_H, Nov 2025
    This would not be the best tour operator for this experience. The guide arrived in a small, old truck, which barely fit the 5 passengers. Also, the guide advised me that my Viator ticket was the only cost involved for the tour, when in fact, you also have to pay a National Park fee. This caused major delays. It was the fault of Viator and the tour operator for not communicating properly on this important detail.

    Great Experience!

    Great tour led by an amazing young local guide named Nico. Several important and spectacular sights are included, as well as some time at the end at a beautiful beach, where you can enjoy the beach proper or stay back in a beautiful park area with shade, food, and beverage options. I’d do this tour again—and any others with Nico!

    Unforgettable!

    Very satisfied with this excursion that I highly recommend with a passionate and exciting local guide!
