Hanga Roa Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Yeni was my tour leader today on a solo tour of the moai, and she was fabulous. From the moment I stepped into her car she was 100% flexible with my thoughts on the day and made the itinerary feel completely personal.She is full of knowledge and brought the sites to life without ever making it feel like a lecture. We covered a lot of ground — Ahu Te Pito Kura, Puna Pau, Ahu Akivi, Ahu Tahai, and Rano Kau — plus a stop at the local Catholic church. The pacing never felt rushed. A highlight was stopping at a roadside bakery for fresh empanadas — simple, delicious, and a perfect break in the day. I would love to leave some pictures, but Cool Destinations will not allow me.If you are traveling solo or just want a guide who actually listens and adapts, book Yeni. Highly recommended.

Enough to know the island well. Excellent guide with extensive knowledge about the island and its history.

I visited many wonderful landmarks and important sites. The view is breathtaking. And the historical sites are beautiful and interesting.

To say that our tour guide Ceny was wonderful would be an understatement. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about Rapa Nui culture—always well-prepared, engaging, and full of fascinating stories that kept us captivated as we explored the island’s remarkable parks. Ceny is also an excellent photographer, so don’t hesitate to ask her to capture your memories—you’ll treasure the photos for years to come. This tour showcases many of the island’s most beautiful and significant spots. It’s truly a worthwhile experience!

Great time and history from Hugo. He was wonderful. Such an amazing fulfillment of a dream and Hugo added the context.Thank you again.

This full-day tour was absolutely unforgettable and one of the highlights of my travels. Seeing Ahu Tongariki at sunrise, with its 15 massive moai statues standing proudly against the Pacific, is a breathtaking experience that words can hardly capture. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the deep history and cultural significance of the sites in a way that made the island’s past come alive.Rano Raraku, the quarry where the moai were carved, was equally fascinating—walking among the unfinished statues gives you such a powerful sense of the scale and ambition of the Rapa Nui people. It’s like stepping back in time and witnessing history frozen in stone.The day ended perfectly at Anakena Beach, with its white sand, turquoise waters, and more moai standing nearby. After exploring so much history, it was wonderful to relax and take in the natural beauty of the island.The tour was well-organized, comfortable, and paced just right. If you want to truly understand the magic of Easter Island, this tour is a must. Absolutely worth every moment.

This tour was perfect! Everything was set up perfectly. We had enough time for each place to appreciate the sites and get as many pictures as we wanted/needed. The guide and driver were both super kind and knowledgeable! Highly recommend

Amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Perfect service. Everything was very smooth. Small group. Highly recommended tour and company.

Loved this tour. Our guide, Javi, did a great job giving information in both Spanish and English. Javi’s passion for sharing the history of Rapa Nui is evident. I felt like we really got great value for our money, as we got as close as you can get to the Moai. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and our lunch was at a nice location with a great view of the moai on the hill. I’d highly recommend this tour.

Very nice and caring tour guide. The hotel pick and drop off were on time. The day activities were organised well. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Top tour . You get to see nearly everything you need in one day . Fantastic places and enough time at each place not rushed

This tour covered all the highlights and provided a great historical overview and cultural context. Uka did a fabulous job!
