Meet your local guide at Katipare Library for a small-group night outing to a remote telescope site and Anakena Beach. You’ll study stars, planets, and Polynesian navigation, enjoy hot chocolate and local cake, then receive a long-exposure photo beside the moai at Ahu Nau.
“This is a unique experience. I was lucky to have booked a night the conditions were optimal (other participants to the trip had had the trip postponed two nights in a row because of too many clouds etc). The guides are superb, making "stargazing" accessible to those who (like me) know next to nothing about it. Thanks to telescopes brought along, one gets to see stars / planets otherwise inaccessible. Since that night, I never look at the stars with the same look :-)”
Spend two full days visiting Rapa Nui’s major archaeological sites, then rise early for sunrise at Ahu Tongariki. Local guides including Alex, Alejandro, David, and Ariki may lead different days. Park admission and food cost extra, and sunrise timing deserves careful confirmation.
“Very happy with all aspects of the tour - having different guides on each day allowed me to get different perspectives / theories on the island's history for stuff that has no written record. Good communication throughout, only issues were caused by customers who hadn't followed the advice to bring drinks and snacks.”
Visit Ahu Akivi, Puna Pau, Rano Kau, and Orongo with local guide Nicolás, also called Nico. This private-style tour for up to six people focuses on Rapa Nui’s origins, oral traditions, the seven sea-facing moai, the pukao quarry, and the Birdman ceremonial village.

Leave from Fundo Vaitea at 6 pm for a guided ride up Maunga Terevaka, Easter Island’s highest point. Alice, Tonchi, and their team match you with calm horses, cross eucalyptus forest and open meadows, then return as stars appear. The route suits beginners, but weather and sunset timing can change.
“Excellent experience. The owner Tonchi spoke English and was an excellent guide as I haven’t ridden a horse in a LONG time. The ride was beautiful. Riding through the eucalyptus forest was so cool. You had to take a moment and breathe the smell of the air. Getting to the peak was such a treat! This is a truly unique experience on the island as the only other known horse riding farm closed several year ago. I catch wait to see how this young entrepreneur’s ranch evolves over the years. Looking forward to riding the next time I’m in Easter Island. Such a special experience.”
Ride a trained horse through the open fields of Rapa Nui to Terevaka, the island’s highest point. A Spanish-speaking guide leads the small group of up to eight, with hotel pickup, riding equipment, and time for wide island views included.

Esteban has led tours in fluent English, while the small groups, WhatsApp updates, local guides, Tongariki sunrise, and ancestral curanto add useful structure. Park entry, lunches, and drinks cost extra.
“The entire tour lasting for two and half day, is really worthwhile of recommendation. First the transport, though picking up for everyone might take like almost an hour, still left nothing to be desired. During the 2.5 days tour ,what has brought me into another sight of Rapa Nui is from the handsome guide, Estebam.who comes with an incredibly fluently English speaking. Really gained so much about Moai that once was just a pronoun of cuteness .highly recommended”
