Moai Monuments Tour (private)
A partir de USD 380
Discover the Mysteries of Easter Island
Uncover the secrets of Rapa Nui by following the trail of clues left behind in the island’s iconic megalithic statues. These colossal stone figures are more than just monuments—they are keys to understanding the ancient civilization that once thrived here.
Your journey begins at the breathtaking Anakena Beach, where the soft golden sand, crystal-clear waters, and beautifully restored moai set the stage for a powerful introduction to the island. Bathed in gentle morning light, the statues of this ancestral village come to life as guardians of Rapa Nui heritage.
Continue to Te Pito Kura, home to one of the largest moai ever carved—now lying fallen, a silent witness to the island’s turbulent history. Then stand in awe at Ahu Tongariki, where fifteen massive stone giants rise once more, restored to their full glory. Towering above all who approach, they stand as solemn sentinels of a forgotten age.
Next, visit an in-situ site, where toppled moai remain untouched, offering a raw and authentic glimpse into the past.
Conclude your day at the legendary Rano Raraku, the volcanic quarry where the moai were born. Here, half-carved statues emerge from the earth—frozen in time, their work left unfinished. Spend the afternoon walking among them, absorbing the scale and mystery of these immense creations.

Anakena Beach - The clear morning light is great in the morning for capturing images Beautiful Royal beach at Anakena
Ahu Te Pito Kura - At ten metres tall, here lies one of the tallest moai ever to be erected, now but a vestige of its former glory. Nearby sits the famous magnetic circular stone which legend says came to Easter Island from the ancient homeland of Hiva with the first king, Hotu Matuʻa.
One Makihi - One Makehe is an unrestored conglomerate of ahu platforms sitting as they have been for over two hundred years since the islanders turned on the traditions of their ancestors and began toppling the hundreds of moai found throughout the island.
Ahu Tongariki - Restored between 1992 and 1996, this is the most awe inspiring of the various platforms. Here, fifteen of the largest moai set their stone faces like flint, looking eternally toward the setting of the sun, as well and the comparatively insignificant tourists who come to pay them homage.
LUNCH - Refreshments are available for purchase at the café at Rano Raraku.
Rano Raraku - This is the birthplace of the moai, a virtual quarry of statues. Here, hundreds of handsome heads and torsos sit in various stages of carving, still waiting to be transported to their various ahu located all over the island.
