Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Your first stop on your three hour guided tour is Rano Kau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Reaching a sky-scraping 1,063 feet, the crater of this extinct volcano is so large it can be seen from space. A photo stop reveals glistening lakes along the crater's floor. Nearby is the village of Orongo. Built in the 16th century, Orongo was the site of a punishing competition that determined who would rule the island for a year. Next is a visit to Ahu Huri a Urenga, a restored platform with one re-erected statue, displaying 4 hands, which makes it unique on Rapa Nui. Then, you're off to Ahu Akivi. According to ancient legend, these 14-foot-tall moai represent seven young explorers who went to sea to find new land. Finally, you'll enjoy an idyllic drive back to ship.
