Itinerary
- Mini tour of Ahu Akivi Island: Let us introduce you to the mysteries of Easter Island. Departing from Hanga Roa, this tour will take you to visit Ahu Akivi, the Tahai ceremonial complex comprising three main ahu from north to south: Ko Te Riku (with restored eyes), Tahai and Vai Ure and Puna Pau Quarry and The Te Cavern of Pahu. Ahu Akivi's 7-Moai platform faces the rising equinoctial sun with each statue at a height of about 16 feet and weighing about 18 tons. According to folklore, the seven statues represent the seven young explorers who left Hiva, a legendary Polynesian homeland, to survey the island after the spiritual priest Haumaka made the first chief, Hotu Matu'a, aware of the island's existence. You will have time to reflect on this history and the many other mysteries of Easter Island as you wander around exploring the incredible Moai structures.
- Half-day tour of Orongo and Rano Kau: Spend a day visiting the southwest coast of Easter Island, which includes the Ahu Vinapu archaeological complex, the Rano Kao volcano and the ceremonial city of Orongo. Our first stop will be at the Ahu Vinapu Ceremonial Complex, which has one of the largest Moais on the island. Then we will head to the Rano Kau volcano, whose slopes offer a breathtaking view of the Motu Nui, Motu Iti, Motu Kao Kao islets. Rano Kau has a crater lake which is one of the three natural bodies of fresh water on the island. Heading west, we will reach the village of Orongo; it was used between 1600 and 1866 AD to worship bird men. The village consists of approximately 50 shale-walled houses of elliptical shape with a small square entrance overlooking the ocean. Arranged in two unequal rows, the bottom row ends at Mata Ngarahu, the sacred precinct where they used to worship the Birdman. This is also the location of one of the most profusely decorated petroglyphs on the island. As you explore, hear some incredible legends about the island.
