This unique tour first takes you to the south coast in order to visit representative examples of the not restored platforms, Ahus Vaihu and Akahanga. Then we proceed to Rano Raraku, the quarry of almost 900 stone statues, 397 of them still lying or standing at the slopes of the extinct volcano with a crater lake. After this stop we visit Ahu Tongariki (restored with 15 Moais) which is the most recent and biggest restoration on the island. Next we drive to the east coast and visit Ahu Te Pito Kura and the “Navel of the World”. Last but not least we visit the beach of Anakena with its recovered Ahus Nau Nau and Ature Huke. There you will have the opportunity to enjoy the warm Pacific Ocean.

We drive up to the extinct volcano Rano Kau appreciating a view over the whole island and with its distinct geological features. On top of the volcano we proceed to a breathtaking view of the crater lake. Afterwards we will drive to the ceremonial village of Orongo, where the birdman competition took place, and you can see the spectacular petroglyphs related to this culture and the 3 islands situated opposite the coast. Then we drive down again to Ahu Vinapu (not restored) and the Ana Kai Tangata cave with its paintings before we return to the hotel.

This half day tour takes you to the restored Ahu Akivi with its 7 Moais, built in the middle of the island. From here you proceed to the Ana Te Pahu Cave, one of the biggest lava tubes of the island before you visit Ahu Tepeu (not restored) and afterwards the topknot-quarry Puna Pau. Return to the hotel.

We start  our tour at the church to appreciate the very original and interesting wood carvings, combining the old and the new religious symbols. Then we drive to the pittoresque port of Hanga Roa Otai and from there we walk along the coast until we reach the cemetery. From there it is only a short walk to the archaeological site Tahai. Here we see a variety of ancient constructions: 3 restored Ahus and Moais, the only statue with eyes re-inserted, remains of boathouses, boatramp.
We then take our time, wait till the sun is setting, and experience, sipping a glas of champagne, one of the most spectacular sunsets behind the mysterious stone statues of Easter Island.
