      We didn’t go but…..

      We did not get to go due to very windy weather, but they were so helpful in trying to rebook and make sure we had the best experience. Next time!

      Enchanting experience

      Ashley_F, Sep 2025
      It felt so special to see the shoreline and the Motus from the perspective a boat. The weather had not been good so the waves were very choppy and we did not get as close to the caves as I would like, but I prefer safety first. But the experience was magical. I felt very safe with the captain though the waves were high. The captain only spoke Spanish and I speak very elementary Spanish. So in my basic Spanish and his very basic English, we were able to communicate minimally enough to point out key points of interest, discuss our love for fishing, and have an incredible experience. I can’t wait to download my GoPro footage. The guide is also an ancestral fisherman. I would have loved a chance to hire him for a fishing charter to catch tuna.

      Great tour!

      We had a great morning on the water with Atamu. He ensured a really enjoyable cruise around to the Motu rocks, telling stories of the ocean, sea creatures, island life and, of course, the famous Birdman Race. When he heard my husband is a keen fisherman, he dropped in two trolling lines. No luck with the fishing but still a terrific trip.

      Nice tour

      This tour is a great addition to any other activities you might do on Easter Island. The guides take you to a place where the birdman cult activities are taking place, and the views are amazing. Also, you get to do snorkeling and fishing with your guide. I give 4 stars instead of 5 because of two reasons: 1) The description stated that the tour would be in English, but the guide (otherwise a fantastic person) only spoke Spanish. 2) The description stated that the tour would be private, but I was in the boat with 2 other people. Not a problem, but if the tour is not 100% private please do not label it like that.
