Our guides Toke and Sebastian were amazing!! Not only did we feel at home and like family, they were so knowledgeable on the Rapa Nui culture, history and traditions. We were travelling during my sister's birthday and they even had birthday gifts lined up making the tour so personal. We spent about 4 days in total mostly with Toke and we could not have asked for a better guide and companion. We left Easter Island with our hearts full or love and stomachs full of food. Thank you to Toke and Sebastian for making our trip to Rapa Nui so memorable!!

We can’t recommend KavaKava Tours enough. Spent 2 full days, first with Sebastian “In Search of the Maoi” and then Tokerau on the Birdman Cult tour.
We look for local knowledge and experience when we travel, and KavaKava delivered at an exceptional level.
Both our guides were really nice people, which made the day exceptionally pleasant. They were so engaging, we loved discussing with them the various theories about events on Rapa Nui. We gained invaluable insight from oral traditions as well as western archaeology and theorising.
Thankyou to KavaKava for making our experience one of our life highlights.

The most amazing tour - I had two full days - with Soledad as my guide. She is simply the best guide I ever had and with no hesitation wholheartedly recommend to anyone willing to learn as much as possible about Rapa Nui to spend a day or two as I did with her.
Muchas gracias!
