4-Day Easter Island Experience with Hotel, Tours & Dinner show

lcome you with a traditional flower necklace — the first sign of Rapa Nui hospitality. You’ll then be transferred to your selected hotel in a shared service, with time to rest and enjoy the island’s peaceful atmosphere.

In the evening, we’ll pick you up from your hotel for a night filled with flavor, music, and ancestral traditions at Te Ra’ai Restaurant. You’ll be greeted by the Te Ra’ai family and offered a refreshing local drink while you learn about Takona, an ancient body-painting art that expresses Rapa Nui stories through symbols and colors. Next, take part in the Umu Hatu, the traditional Rapa Nui curanto, prepared underground with hot stones — a ritual that embodies centuries of island heritage. Enjoy a buffet-style dinner with local dishes, meats, root vegetables, salads, tropical fruits, and a glass of Chilean wine. The evening concludes with the Haha Varua live performance, a vibrant dance and music show that brings to life the spirit, legends, and “Mana” — the sacred energy — of the Rapa Nui people. A truly magical first night on Easter Island.

Our adventure begins at Ahu Akahanga, where fallen moai rest facing the Pacific Ocean. According to local legend, this sacred site is the burial place of Hotu Matu’a, the island’s first king. Discover how this ancient platform reveals the island’s early clan structures and ceremonial importance.

Continue to Rano Raraku, the volcanic quarry where most of the island’s moai were carved. Walking among the hundreds of partially finished statues offers a powerful glimpse into the artistry, devotion, and mystery of the ancient Rapa Nui civilization.

Visit the iconic Ahu Tongariki, home to the famous row of 15 restored moai standing majestically against the ocean. It’s one of Easter Island’s most photographed landmarks and a symbol of the cultural rebirth of Rapa Nui.

Just a short distance away lies Te Pito Kura, where you’ll find the largest moai ever erected on the island. This site is also known for the “Navel of the World” — a magnetic stone believed to hold powerful spiritual energy.

End the day at the beautiful Anakena Beach, famous for its white coral sand, turquoise waters, and palm-lined shore. Admire the well-preserved moai of Ahu Nau Nau, enjoy time to relax, swim, or simply take in the serene beauty of this mythical Polynesian paradise.

Orongo Ceremonial Village & Rano Kau Volcano We’ll begin the morning with pickup from your hotel for a journey through history, culture, and breathtaking scenery. Our first stop is Vinapu, an archaeological site that showcases the Rapa Nui people’s advanced stonework, with constructions reminiscent of Incan precision. Here, you’ll also see toppled moai statues, remnants of clan conflicts that shaped the island’s past. We continue to the ceremonial village of Orongo, perched on the edge of the Rano Kau volcano. This sacred place was the center of the Tangata Manu (“Birdman”) competition — a fascinating ritual that decided which clan would rule the island each year. Finally, admire the dramatic views from the Rano Kau lookout, overlooking one of the most impressive volcanic craters in Polynesia, filled with lush vegetation and a mirror-like lagoon.

After a short rest, we’ll continue with a tour to the inner part of the island, starting at Puna Pau, the quarry where the red “pukao” topknots of the moai were carved from volcanic rock. Next, visit Ahu Akivi, one of the island’s most enigmatic sites. Its seven identical moai face the ocean — unique among all platforms — and align perfectly with the setting sun during the spring equinox and the sunrise during autumn. We’ll conclude the afternoon at the Tahai Ceremonial Complex, one of the island’s oldest restored areas, featuring three remarkable platforms: Ahu Tahai, Ahu Vai Uri, and Ahu Ko Te Riku, the latter easily recognized by its restored coral eyes. An unforgettable day connecting the spiritual and celestial world of Rapa Nui.

Our team will pick you up at the agreed time for your transfer to Mataveri Airport to board your return flight. If your flight departs in the afternoon, you’ll have free time in the morning to enjoy a relaxed walk around Hanga Roa town, visit local craft markets, or simply take in the peaceful ocean views one last time. We’ll assist you with your luggage and ensure a smooth, comfortable farewell from this unforgettable island.t
