Anakena Beach, Chile At the most beautiful beach of the island, the capital of the ancient society was located. In the sand stands a monument with the best preserved restored moais of the entire island. Quite recently they were dug up after centuries of having been buried in the sand. If interested in having a swim or enjoying some beach time, we suggest coming back on your own, as the tour will mainly focus on the archaeological and historical aspect of this area. 35 minutes
Ahu Te Pito Kura, Chile The tallest moai that was ever successfully transported to its ahu can be found in this area. It was an amazing 9.9 m tall. Just like all other statues it was toppled in ancient times, and today it is still unrestored.
There is also a round magnetic rock in this area that some say has magical properties. 25 minutes
Puna Pau, Hanga Roa, Chile Small volcano where the red scoria stone was quarried for the moai statue topknots - the so called pukao. All of the moai statue pukaos come from this place. 20 minutes
Ahu Akivi, Chile The only monument with moais that are looking out towards the sea. 20 minutes
Ahu Tahai, Chile The tribesmen of this village were remarkably ambitious and hard-working. They raised several statues at three different ahu platforms. A ramp was made to enter the ocean from within the area. 30 minutes
Rano Kau, Chile The crater of volcano Rano Kau is one of the most stunning views of the whole island. Its crater lake was one of the most important sources of drinking water in ancient times. 20 minutes
Orongo, Chile Ceremonial stone village dedicated to the birdman competition, located at the ridge of volcano Rano Kau. From within Orongo we will have a fantastic view of the crater of this volcano. 45 minutes

Anyone heading to Rapa Nui, I highly recommend booking with Easter Island Travel for your excursions. They were so friendly, helpful, and educational.
My husband and I did a full day private tour and a 1/2 day horse/cave tour. Both where amazing.
