Description
This tour stands out because it is designed especially for cruise passengers. We adapt to the actual hours of the tenders, carry out the pick-up at the port and organize the route to ensure the return before the last tender. The experience is done in a small group, with local guides, welcome with flower necklaces and interpretive material to better understand the history, moai, legends and living culture of Rapa Nui. In a single day, travelers can discover some of the most important places on the island: Rano Kau, Orongo, Rano Raraku, Ahu Tongariki, Anakena and Ahu Akivi, combining volcanic landscapes, archaeology, tradition and a safe and well-organized experience.

Itinerary
Rano Kau
One of the most imposing volcanoes in Rapa Nui. From this point you can observe its large crater, covered by vegetation and interior lagoons, as well as a panoramic view towards the ocean and part of Hanga Roa. It is an ideal stop to understand the volcanic origin of the island and enjoy one of its most striking landscapes.
Orongo
Rano Raraku
The largest ceremonial center in the Pacific, which had to be restored after one of the most immense catastrophes recorded, a tsunami caused by the Valdivia earthquake. The entire restoration was possible thanks to the great contribution of Tadano and Sano, of Japanese origin. This place is better known as the platform of the 15 moai.
Ahu Tongariki
Anakena Beach
Anakena, originally named Hanga Rau o Te Ariki, meaning 'king's landing bay', was the intended location for the people, led by King Hotu Matu'a, to colonize the island. Over time, this area became an exclusive space for royalty. Anakena has a white sand beach unique in the world, crystal clear waters and is located between palm trees and Moais.
Ahu Akivi
Ceremonial site known for its seven moai facing the ocean, something very particular within the island. Ahu Akivi is linked to accounts about the first explorers sent before the arrival of the ariki Hotu Matu’a. It is a special stop to close the tour connecting history, legend and landscape.
