(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ahu Vaihu
Our adventure begins at Vaihu, a sacred site where a series of fallen Moai still resonate with the echo of their powerful past. The ocean wind will be your soundtrack as you explore this intriguing archaeological site.
Ahu Akahanga
From Vaihu, your local guide will take you to Ahu Akahanga, a sacred site where ancient kings once ruled. Located on the southeastern coast of the island, this ceremonial platform remains unrestored—giving you a chance to experience it just as the first European explorers did. The ahu stretches nearly 59 feet (18 meters) and once supported around a dozen moai statues. It’s also believed to be the burial place of Hotu Matu’a, the first Polynesian king to settle Rapa Nui. As you walk the grounds, you'll see toppled moai with their distinctive pukao (stone topknots), a striking reminder of past tribal conflicts.
Ahu Tongariki
Your next stop is Ahu Tongariki, the most iconic and grand ceremonial platform on the island. Set dramatically along the coastline, it features fifteen towering moai standing shoulder to shoulder with the vast Pacific Ocean as their backdrop. This awe-inspiring site showcases the power, artistry, and engineering of the ancient Rapa Nui civilization. In 1960, a massive tsunami swept the statues inland, some being thrown hundreds of feet. Thanks to a major restoration project completed in 1992, Tongariki was returned to its former glory—offering visitors one of the most unforgettable views on Easter Island.
