Highlights
- Rano Raraku - This is the sole volcanic cone tuff quarry on the island. This material enabled the large-scale construction of the moai. Rano Raraku contains the quarry where the moai were crafted and from which they were transported to the ahu (ceremonial platforms) on the island.

- Rano Raraku - This is the sole volcanic cone tuff quarry on the island. This material enabled the large-scale construction of the moai. Rano Raraku contains the quarry where the moai were crafted and from which they were transported to the ahu (ceremonial platforms) on the island.
- Ahu Tongariki - Situated opposite Rano Raraku, this is the largest of all the reconstructed platforms on the island. Ahu Tongariki is the most impressive moai platform on the island. This altar features fifteen visible standing statues that overlook the island with their backs to the Pacific Ocean.
- Anakena Beach - Known for its warm turquoise waters and coral sand, this is the island’s main beach and was once the ancestral home of the Miru Araki royal family. The ahu Nau Nau is undoubtedly one of the island’s most refined Ahu due to the sophistication of its moai.
- Rano Kau - Located on the southwest side of the island, the crater of this volcano is one of Rapa Nui’s most stunning natural landscapes. Spanning 1.5 km, this crater is the largest reserve of endemic flora on Rapa Nui, and its lake served as a vital source of drinking water.
- Orongo - Orongo village is situated on one side of the Rano Kau volcano crater. Its breathtaking scenic location, archaeological and historical significance, and the site’s diversity and complexity make Orongo village one of the island’s most important attractions. It is one of the two main sites on the island where the Birdman ceremony was celebrated. It also features a visitor reception center with a permanent interpretive exhibition.
- Ahu Akivi - One of the few ceremonial platforms not located by the sea. Its seven moai have been restored to their standing positions by archaeologists William Mulloy and Gonzalo Figueroa, along with the Rapa Nui community. These moai are uniquely positioned with astronomical guidance and face the setting sun.

Toke our guide was great; Viator a disappointment - Toke was excellent. We really enjoyed the day with him and he gave us a true sense of the island. I would recommend booking direct with the travel agency though as Viator was a disappointment.

Excellent introduction to Rapa Nui - I booked a full-day tour with Kava Tours, combined with the Tongariki sunrise. I was picked up at 6:00 AM by Toto, the driver and guide for that day. I had an amazing day! Toto shared a lot of knowledge about the history of the Moai, the Island, and the Birdman culture. It was an excellent introduction to Rapa Nui and its beauty. Thank you, Toto and Kava Tours! It was a long and intensive day, but it was certainly worth it.

Discovering the Moai and the Spirit of Rapa Nui - This tour was outstanding! Our guide, Sol, provided an exceptional experience, sharing not only the history of the moai statues but also the rich culture of Rapa Nui. We are deeply grateful for her insights and highly recommend this company to anyone visiting the island.

magical place - The place is amazing it is worth a lot to do the tour of the island with a guide to know well the origin and customs after it is easy to walk again and be a little longer in some places I recommend the place to rest there is no good internet sign or television a getaway from the world, the perfect weather, some rain that lasts a few minutes just enough to cool down, enjoy the fresh tuna every day is amazing, the very attentive locals
