A Experiência de Observação de Estrelas Rapa Nui

This tour is very special, and unfortunately doesn’t happen without many variables being aligned perfectly. Weather, Moon, clouds - everything should be perfect. We got incredibly lucky, because we booked the tour for the very last night in the Island, and everything aligned perfectly! The tour was absolutely fantastic!!! Don’t remember myself enjoying a tour this much ❤️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 We got amazing photos! Thank you!

I never got to do the experiance as the weather was not in my favour - I'm leaving the review as the communication with the company was excellent 👌 They kept me up to date with all the weather issues, offered me rescheduled attempts ,kept me up to date with the new weather and provided me with a very quick refund when needed The customer service was excellent 👌

The guides were excellent. The stars were absolutely amazing. A great experience I would recommend to everybody visit visiting Easter Island.

My friend and i scheduled a star gazing trip months ago for the first night we arrived on easter island which was confirmed. That afternoon we got a message saying that we were the only 2 scheduled for Sunday and could we go Monday night instead. Not great for us Monday night but we said yes. Monday afternoon we got another message saying that we were the only 2 for Monday night. Could we come and join the Tuesday night group? No we could not. And we were scheduled to leave easter island on Wednesday. Instead of offering to just take us we were told that we would get our money refunded. The money was not the point. It was the major disappointment of not being able to do the star gazing because we will never be back to easter island again. I am hoping this is not a common occurrence because wehave many more viator excursions scheduled in South America over the next 3 weeks.

Canceled by the provider. It's too bad. They canceled more than 4 hours before the tour was scheduled and had they waited, the sky was completely clear.

This was a great experience. The sky was beautiful that night and we saw the milky way. The leader gave a talk about navigation using the stars. We enjoyed looking thru the telescopes and seeing the moon and planets. A nice hot choccolate and cake snack was provided. We also went to see Moai and had photoes taken.

Trip was confirmed a few hours to check for weather and we were picked up in the middle of town at Katipare. The pick up was prompt and it was a relatively manageable group of less than 15. We went to two locations, one where we sat on camping chairs to hear the explanations and sip hot chocolate, viewed the stars and planets through telescope and another where our pictures were taken by the Moais. After the whole experience, we were shuttled back to our respective hotel location. Will recommend to bring jacket as it might be quite cold and windy at night and to book your accommodations nearer to the town centre so that you can walk down to the meeting place. Looking forward to the pictures!

Marc is an excellent guide. He has a lot of knowledge and clearly loves what he does. The explanations are very cool, and then seeing the stars by the telescope, in a sky like that of Rapa Nui, is amazing. There is a delicious hot chocolate to enjoy and the cherry cake is to take one of the most beautiful photos of your life. I recommend.

The hotel should be as centrally located as possible, mine was not and the restaurants very remote, that means long walks . The excursions were very well organized, but after 2 full days you saw everything. Unfortunately, my already paid stargazing was cancelled due to too few participants. That Easter Island is expensive does not have to be said.

This was an extraordinarily FUN event. Mark and his team picked us up at the local library and transported us to a viewing point on the coast. He spent a good amount of time orienting us to the stars of the southern hemisphere. He talked about the Polynesian culture and what GREAT navigators they were. Using different star points he would illustrate how the sailors would get their bearings and determine their direction. Mark and his team had three telescopes set up and would focus them on different planets and constellations for our viewing. After a while of viewing and hot chocolate, we piled back in the vehicles and headed across the island to Anakena, a place where seven moai stand upon an ahu (ceremonial platform). It is completely dark, so with the help of timed photography and a little light which Mark sheds on the statues, we each had a night photo taken in front of the moai----VERY COOL. Rapa Nui Stargazing does a GREAT job. I highly recommend this experience. Summer nights can be cold, so dress appropriately.
