Description

Make the most of your time on Easter Island with this carefully curated tour package that fits perfectly into a two-night stay. Designed for those arriving midday and leaving on the third day, this itinerary blends archaeology, culture, nature, and history into a seamless experience.


Day 1 – Half Day Tour (4 hours)
🕑 Pick-up Time: 14:00 or 15:30 (depending on your arrival flight)
📍 Sites visited: Rano Kau – Orongo – Vinapu – Tahai
Begin your journey with a visit to Rano Kau, a colorful volcanic crater filled with freshwater. Hear tales of the Tangata Manu (Birdman) while exploring the ceremonial village of Orongo, perched on the crater’s edge. Continue to Ahu Vinapu, known for its precise stonework, and end the day at Tahai, a scenic platform where the moai gaze over the Pacific at sunset.


Day 2 – Full Day Tour (6 hours)
🕑 Pick-up Time: 09:00 at your hotel
📍 Sites visited: Akahanga – Rano Raraku – Tongariki – Te Pito Kura – Anakena
🍽️ Lunch included – Chicken or local fish, salads, rice, fruit, juice, and drinks

Explore the southern coast, starting with Akahanga, a sacred site where ancient legends meet dramatic ruins. Visit the famous 15 moai at Ahu Tongariki, and continue to Rano Raraku, the quarry where nearly 400 moai remain in various stages of carving. After lunch, stop by Te Pito Kura, the “Navel of the World,” and finish at Anakena Beach, a palm-fringed bay steeped in Rapa Nui legend.


Day 3 – Half Day Tour (4 hours)
🕑 Pick-up Time: 06:00 at your hotel
📍 Sites visited: Ahu Tongariki (Sunrise) – Puna Pau – Ahu A’kivi
Begin your final day with the breathtaking sunrise at Ahu Tongariki, as sunlight pierces through the moai. Then visit Puna Pau, the red scoria quarry where the moai's topknots were crafted. Conclude the tour at Ahu A’kivi, a unique inland platform where seven moai face the sea, aligned with the solstice sun.

Insider tips

  • ★Book afternoon pick-up (14:00 or 15:30) on Day 1 to align with typical arrival flights—maximizes rest before full exploration begins
  • ★Day 2's Rano Raraku visit is most rewarding mid-morning when shadows reveal carving detail on unfinished moai
  • ★Anakena Beach doubles as a swimming spot on hot days; bring water shoes for rocky entry
  • ★Request your lunch protein preference (chicken or local fish) when confirming to ensure freshness and local sourcing

Good to know

  • •Lunch included on Day 2 only; other meals not provided—plan dining accordingly in Hanga Roa village
  • •Private tour means flexible pace but rough terrain (volcanic rock, uneven paths) requires sturdy hiking shoes and sun protection (hat, SPF 50+)
  • •Hotel pick-up/drop-off included; confirm your accommodation address and flight arrival time when booking
  • •Total driving covers significant distances across the island; bring water (1.5L minimum) and snacks
  • •No wheelchair accessibility implied for archaeological sites; terrain is challenging for reduced mobility

Who it's for

Archaeology and anthropology enthusiasts seeking deep cultural immersionPhotographers targeting dramatic volcanic and coastal landscapesShort-stay visitors with 2–3 days to cover Easter Island's essential sitesSmall groups and families preferring personalized pacing over large-group tours

Best time to visit

Visit May–September (Southern Hemisphere winter) for cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and clearer visibility of sites without intense midday heat. Morning and late-afternoon tours offer the best natural light for photography and moai viewing.
