A full day tour, along the Moai route, visiting: Vaihu, a place which is surrounded by enormous statues which have fallen face down; the ruins of Akahanga, which are in their natural condition and where the first king of the island was buried. Further along, we will see the Rano Raraku volcano, situated close to the southern shore of the island, and at the base of Poike, which is the most spectacular crater in the zone and where the former island-people carved the giant statues from the volcano's quarry.

We carry on towards the beautiful beach of Anakena, where we will see Ahu Tongariki, which was the biggest of the 15 Moais on the island. They weighed an average of 50 tons and were destroyed by a tidal wave in 1960. Lunch Box and free time to enjoy the warm sea waters which surround the island. In the afternoon, return to the hotel..
