A wonderful sight! - What a wonderful experience! It was one of those times where you need to put your camera down and just breathe and take it in. Our guide was great, he told us the best places to view from and let us linger to enjoy it all - we were possibly the last group to go. All in all very relaxing and wonderful to do!

Best Tour on Rapa Nui! - It is important to note that this is a pickup/dropoff…not necessarily a tour. You are given ample time to walk around the area and sit and watch the sunrise. We took so many photos - beautiful experience! This was our cheapest but most memorable tour in the island. Also…Eva is the best! She was always available to answer questions about the history of Rapa Nui.

One of the highlights of my trip! - It wasn’t an option of our two day tour and everything I’d looked up said this was a must do! We got to the site early enough to have great a sky gazing view prior to. It wasn’t overly crowded, and was definitely worth it!

The crack - Very good experience with Hotumatur. The prices are reasonable and the service is worth it. The guides are very friendly, know the island a lot and explain everything in a clear and entertaining way, which makes the tours much more enjoyable. Fully recommended. Very nice sunrise on the island.

Amazing. - I did the sunrise tour in Tongariki and it was an unforgettable experience. The views throughout the tour are breathtaking, especially seeing the sun rise in front of the moai. The guide was very clear and provided valuable information about each place visited.

Being there for the... - Being there for the sunrise was awesome. But getting there and back was terrifying! The driver went over 80 kmh twice the speed limit, very scary. Guide slept the whole way there and the whole time while there, basically no guide except to open and close the van door.
