Upon arrival at Easter Island airport, meet a representative of Hare Noi who will join you on your journey to the hotel. Check-in and enjoy the hotel’s facilities, including a spa offering massages and treatments using the local elements on the island, a pool, and a solarium.
Meet your guide, an expert on Rapa Nui culture with whom you will decide the excursions you will take on this personalized trip.
Some of the tours you might take include:
Take your excursion to visit two of the several altars, known as ahus, on the island: Ahu Akivi and Ahu Tahai. Ahu Akivi is made up of seven moais, the only ones facing the sea, that represent the seven explorers that arrived in the island upon the request of their king, Akivi Hotu Matu’a, according to the local folk. Learn about the moais and the different theories surrounding their transportation, a mystery that still remains unsolved.
Also, visit other important sight: Puna Pau, a quarry located near Hanga Roa town where you will learn about the pukao, or topknots that some moais have over their heads. Weather permitting, visit some of the famous lava tube caves of the island.
