Flight from Santiago de Chile to Easter Island
Hotel shared transfer from Rapa Nui Airport to Hotel
3 Nights
Easter Island
Easter Island is a dream destination that only a few are lucky enough to visit. The island may loom large in global imagination, yet it remains off the radar of mass tourism, which is one of the reasons why it feels so untouched. From the cooling green hues of the meadows, to the huge statues called Moai and the spectacular views of the ocean, the beauty and mystery offer peace and a refreshing atmosphere to all who visit.
Included activities
Personalized Tour of Ahu Akivi
Visit the sacred site of Ahu Akivi, the only ahu with moais that look out towards the ocean. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Hanga Roa village in the morning. Drive to Ahu Akivi to see the seven moais, or statues, which are believed to represent the seven explorers that first set foot on Rapa Nui, or Easter Island. These explorers were sent by King Hotu a Matu before he made his own journey to the island to settle here. From there, your guide will take you to a cavern called Ana Te Pahu, or banana cave. Located at the foothills of the Maunga Terevaka, it is the largest cavern on the island. Your guide will describe how the early inhabitants used these caves as dwellings, and how they grew banana trees, vines, and tubers such as taro. Then visit Puna Pau, a small red slag quarry where the ‘Pukao’, hats or topknots of the moais, were made. The quarry also offers an exceptional view of Hanga Roa Town. (Duration: 3 hrs; Time: Morning or Afternoon; Private activity & transfers; Meals are not included)
Full Experience Program with Nayara Hangaroa
Enjoy the Full Experience Program at Nayara Hangaroa on Easter Island. Start your day with an a la carte breakfast at Poevara restaurant, which offers views of the ocean. Go for a mid-morning swim in the pool that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Each night’s stay entitles you to two half-day excursions. You could choose to walk to Ahu Tongariki, the largest ahu on Easter Island with 15 moai, and explore Anakena Beach. Another option is to follow the Ara O Te Ao Trail, one of the oldest paths on the island, to the Rano Kau lookout point, the island’s largest crater. Then visit Orongo, an ancient ceremonial village. Enjoy a leisurely lunch. In the evening you can explore the market, church and centre of Rapa Nui’s only village, before watching the sunset at Ahu Tahai. You can also exchange a half-day excursion for the following: a 50-minute relaxation session or massage at the Spa, three hours’ use of a bike or three hours’ use of a quad bike.

Proceed to Ahu Te Pito Kura to see the impressive moai PARO, the largest statue ever erected in an Ahu. It stands 33 ft high and weighs 85 tons. Your guide will also show you a large spherical stone known as the navel of the world. According to legend, it was brought to the island by king Hotu Matua ‘a himself.

Visit the Ana Kai Tangata cave to see drawings of stylized birds on one of the walls. The drawings represent the Manutara, or sooty tern. As part of the cult’s rituals, hunters used to race to bring the first manutara egg back undamaged from the nearby islet of Motu Nui. Proceed to the Vinapu sector to see the large basalt slabs that are similar to the Inca constructions in Peru. From there, head to the Rano Kau Volcano and soak in the natural beauty of its lagoon.

What Our Guests Say
We had a magical 2 weeks in Argentina and Chile Enchanting Travels. We highly recommend them and will use them again. Thank you!
Vicky Deacon
USA
This trip was number one on my bucket list and Enchanting Travel helped me make it everything I could have dreamed of. They took care of all the details allowing me to sit back and enjoy the beauty of Patagonia. So glad I finished the trip with a few days in Santiago and a little wine tasting.
Karen March

This is our second international trip with Enchanting Travels. The first was in 2023 with our grown children to Japan. The second was February 2025 to Patagonia for just my husband and myself. For years I planned my families trips and don’t regret that, but there is a clear difference in the experiences when using travel professionals. Traveling to Japan soon after the country reopened from COVID, I did not know if the typical travel books or videos would have updated information on hotels and restaurants and how they recovered from the pandemic. I put full trust in Enchanting Travels and they far exceeded expectations. Best trip ever, my children agree. Our patagonia trip was crafted with similar expertise. Communication was clear and fast at every step. There was never a glitch with transportation, tours, or hotels. Truly, we were spoiled every step of the way. Now we just need to decide on our next adventure, but will be sure to contact Enchanting Travels when we do!!

Enchanting folks were delightful to work with and very responsive to our needs and expectations, which can often be high. Their choices of tour itinerary, hotels, and meals included were in general excellent. We would certainly consider Enchanting in our future travels.

Enchanting Travels delivers. My husband and I booked with them for a trip to Patagonia for our honeymoon and we didn’t even have to think about anything the entire trip. The hotels, food, transportation, and day excursions were beyond amazing. We had a flight that needed to be changed coming back to the US and they also took care of this for us. There is no doubt you get what you’re paying for. Derek and Camilla were beyond amazing in making this trip happen. Thank you so much for a trip we will always remember.
Krystal Pittman

Enchanting Travels organized another great trip for us. A couple years ago, they planned our Mexico/Guatemala trip, which was fantastic. Now, we just came back from 2 weeks in Chile (Santiago, Maule, Patagonia/Torres del Paine & Easter Island/Rapa Nui). It was unforgettable. My wife has all kinds of dietary restrictions and allergies and they made sure we had plenty of options. Also, my wife is into birding/wildlife and I’m into history/architecture/culture and Enchanting Travels built a trip that totally satisfied both of us. We told them what we were into and some things we wanted to see/do over a zoom call and they took it from there and proposed a couple prospective itineraries and we chose one. It was that easy. We’re thinking about going to Greece next year and will definitely work with Enchanting Travels again. Kenny and Katie did a great job for us. Many thanks, guys!
