Spend a full day exploring the many wonders and mysteries of Easter Island. First, you'll visit the ruins of the temple of Vaihu, followed by stops at various sites dedicated to the famous Moais. Your final stop of the day is at Anakena Beach for a quick dip in the Pacific Ocean.
- Conducted in English
The excursion starts in Hanga Roa and heads toward the ruins of the temple of Vaihu, which is still today as it has been after centuries of neglect. The red hats of the Moai which were thrown into the sea can clearly be seen.
Continue to the site of Akahanga, where various of the statues are face down, as they were abandoned during their transportation. Then onto the volcano of Rano Raraku and the 'factories' where the Moais were carved from the rock. Here there are more than 300 statues in different stages of production. A walk around the crater reveals a small lagoon and more Moai in the center.
Continue to Ahu Tongariki which has been recently restored with the largest number of Moais which were destroyed by a large tidal wave in 1960.
Finally, the beautiful Anakena beach with two temple platforms or Ahus. Following a picnic lunch, time to bathe in the Pacific Ocean or explore the surrounding countryside. Return to Hanga Roa in the afternoon.
