What you can expect

Enjoy a unique experience on Easter Island, where ancient history and the universe are connected in a fascinating way. This private tour has been designed for those seeking to understand the profound connection between Rapa Nui culture, its moai, and the observation of the sky.

We will begin by visiting Ahu Akivi, a unique ceremonial site on the island, known for its seven moai aligned with the sun. Here, you will learn about their possible connection to astronomy and the importance of celestial alignments in the Rapa Nui worldview.

We will continue to Anakena Beach, one of the island's most iconic beaches, steeped in history and natural beauty. Here, you will learn stories about the earliest Polynesian settlements, while you enjoy a paradise-like setting that combines culture and nature.

We will then head to Rano Kau, an imposing volcano offering spectacular panoramic views. From this prime vantage point, you will be able to understand the island's geography and its connection to ancient rituals and beliefs.

As night falls, the experience takes a special turn. We will travel to a location away from light pollution to enjoy a stargazing session. Accompanied by a local guide and equipped with a professional telescope, you will learn to identify constellations, stars, and other celestial bodies, while discovering how the ancient Rapa Nui interpreted the sky and incorporated it into their daily lives.

The experience takes place in an intimate, comfortable, and personalised setting, making it perfect for couples, families, or travellers seeking an authentic experience. The experience includes transport, pick-up from your accommodation, a certified guide, and all the necessary equipment to fully enjoy the experience, even in the event of rain.
