What you can expect

  • Sunrise – The Awakening of the Moai

    Before sunrise, we'll head to Ahu Tongariki, the most impressive ceremonial altar on Rapa Nui, where fifteen Moai stand facing the Pacific Ocean. Arriving in the half-light, when silence still reigns, allows you to feel the grandeur of the place and anticipate the moment to come.

    During the first hues of dawn, the sky is tinged with vibrant colours that are reflected in the statues and the sea. It is a magical moment when nature heralds the start of a new day. Then, as the sun rises, the moai are gradually illuminated, revealing all their strength and spirituality, as if they were waking up along with the island.

    In this unique setting, your local guide will share with you stories, legends, and traditions that connect our ancestral culture with this very special moment. More than just watching a sunrise, you'll enjoy an experience of connection with the nature, history, and spirituality of our island, creating memories that will stay with you long after your visit.
