Description

Enjoy a complete experience in Rapa Nui during your cruise ship stopover with our Special Cruise Sightseeing Tour: The Best of Rapa Nui, specially designed for passengers who come to the island for the day and need flexible, safe, and well-organized logistics. We know that cruise ships disembark using tenders, so the actual disembarkation time may vary depending on sea conditions and ship operations. Therefore, this sightseeing tour is adapted to the corresponding cruise ship, with flexible pick-up at the cruise port and special planning to ensure that you can enjoy the island's main attractions and return in a relaxed manner before the last tender. Upon arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome with flower necklaces to begin your visit in the spirit of Rapa Nui hospitality. We'll then start a small group tour of up to 10 people, ideal for a more intimate, comfortable, and personalized experience. During the sightseeing tour, you will visit some of the most important and representative sites on the island: Rano Kau: One of the most impressive volcanoes in Rapa Nui, with a panoramic view of its huge crater, the ocean, and part of the town of Hanga Roa. Orongo: an ancient ceremonial village located on the edge of the Rano Kau volcano, linked to the fascinating history of the Tangata Manu or 'Birdman', one of the most important traditions of Rapa Nui culture. Ahu Tongariki: the largest and most iconic ahu on the island, where 15 restored moai stand facing the ocean. One of the most powerful postcard images of Rapa Nui. Rano Raraku: the quarry where most of the moai were carved. Here you can see dozens of sculptures in different stages of creation, gaining a better understanding of the mystery and grandeur of this ancestral legacy. Anakena: White sand beach, turquoise waters, and moai facing the sea. A place full of beauty, history, and connection to the island's origins. Ahu Akivi: a unique ceremonial site, known for its seven moai facing the ocean, associated with the tradition of the first explorers who arrived in Rapa Nui. This tour combines volcanic landscapes, archaeological sites, ancestral history, local legends, and some of the island's most iconic sites in a single experience specially designed for cruise ships. Our goal is for you to make the most of your short stay in Rapa Nui, without worrying about disembarkation times or returning to the ship.
