Arrival on Easter Island – Transfer to the Hotel – Meeting the Moai
AM: Upon you arrival on Easter Island, you will be met with a welcoming reception before being driven to the hotel, where luggage and hotel registration assistance will be provided. After you have had a chance to unpack and settle into your room, you will be given a detailed itinerary along with a welcome kit.
PM: Following lunch, we will head out to view some of the 887 gigantic statues, or “moai,” that dot the island. Some of these figures stand as high as 46 feet (14 meters) tall, and weigh over 30 tons. Viewing these enigmatic works of art will likely be the highlight of your travel. Some of the most unique sites include the Tahai complex, where you’ll see the only statue on the island with painted eyes; and the red stone quarry of Puna Pau, where the moai’s “pukao” (headdresses) were sculpted. Afterwards, you can choose to spend the afternoon swimming and snorkeling.
Town Walking-Tour – Ana Kai Tangata Cave – Easter Island Horseback Riding
AM: This morning we will walk into Hanga Roa, the island’s only substantial town, where you can get your bearings by strolling through the town center. Here you will be able to soak up the scenery around the fishing harbor before heading south to Ana Kai Tangata Cave. At this impressive black-rock cavern that’s best known for its colorful Manutara bird paintings, you will get your first introduction to the uncanny “Birdman ceremony.”
PM: After a hearty Easter Island lunch, you can choose to go horseback riding to landmarks on the island. This will give you a chance to ride through unique landscapes and to areas of archaeological interest, such as Ara or Te Moai (the “route of the moai”), the north coast of Hanga Oteo, the first Ahu, or the heights of Terevaka.
Sailing – Rapa Nui Fishing
AM: This morning, you can choose to discover Easter Island from the sea and view the island from another perspective. While sailing, you can appreciate the island’s unique landscape, shaped by volcanic eruptions, and observe the great cliffs and islands that are within a few nautical miles. All of this will help you form a much richer idea about the formation of the island.
PM: This afternoon of sailing will allow you to experience one of the core activities of Rapa Nui culture: Fishing. This will be a great opportunity to share with local fishermen, and exchange skills and experiences.
Transfer to Airport – Departure to Santiago
AM: At the scheduled time, the Hangaroa team will take you to the airport for your departing flight.
