- Adventure Terevaka - Take a short ride to the ranch (20 minutes), enjoying the nature of the trail. Here you will meet your horse and the guide for the activity. Once introduced and given the first instructions, we begin the climb to Terevaka. At first we cross a eucalyptus forest where small birds live. Then we continue riding through the high meadows of the mountain, a perfect place to enjoy the view and the changing tones in the sunlight. Once at the top, the horses graze and we sit down to enjoy an open-air show. On the way back, the first stars appear and in the middle of the forest we reach the end of the route. Special route for beginners. Maximum 6 people. The weather can be quite unpredictable, it is a good idea to be prepared for some rain.

The top of the island is a place with privileged views, so it has an important flow of tourists at the usual times. We offer to ride to the highest of the island at sunset, a time when you will feel that there is no one but you on the whole island. Silence is part of the natural spectacle. And to get there, we ride in the middle of the forest and meadows, where it is very difficult to bump into other people. A feeling of being in the middle of the wild, revives the soul of the island.

Great horses and great ride! - The guides offer free rides to their ranch, where you’ll meet very calm and friendly horses. Listen to the guides’ instructions and you’ll have an easy ride to the sunset. We did this tour at New Year’s Eve. Memorable moments.

Meditation on horseback - ♥️♥️♥️
the best experience. Tonchi and Nemo are great, patient teachers. It's so relaxing to just trot along through the hills, past cows and wild horses. My horse (KT) galloped up a hill for like three seconds and it was the best three seconds of my life.

Wow wow wow - There are some places you go to and some experiences you have that you will remember forever and this was certainly one of those treasures. Alice and Nemo are just so lovely and hospitable and I felt right at home. I am an inexperienced rider but by the end of it I felt like I could easily move to Patagonia to become a gaucho. And getting to Terevaka itself feels like facing the spirt of Rapa Nui, it was truly amazing. Thankfully the sunset was better than I imagined and the footage/photos I got were remarkable. Even if there wasn’t a sunset I’d still definitely do this. Do Rapa Nui properly and just book this, you will cherish this memory for the rest of your life.

Great Experience. Don’t miss it. - Great experience. We were picked up from our hotel. Tonchi the owner and our guide was very insightful about the history of Rapa Nui. Additionally, he made sure everyone was comfortable with riding the horses. The views throughout the ride were great. Definitely recommend!

Stunning unforgettable experience. - Excellent experience. The owner Tonchi spoke English and was an excellent guide as I haven’t ridden a horse in a LONG time. The ride was beautiful. Riding through the eucalyptus forest was so cool. You had to take a moment and breathe the smell of the air. Getting to the peak was such a treat! This is a truly unique experience on the island as the only other known horse riding farm closed several year ago. I catch wait to see how this young entrepreneur’s ranch evolves over the years. Looking forward to riding the next time I’m in Easter Island. Such a special experience.

Highly Recommend - Amazing experience! I was worried about riding back down the mountain in darkness but thankfully that wasn’t an issue. We rode about an hour to the top, spent some time there, and then rode back down before sunset. While on the ride the sun set and eventually once we made it back it was dark. Overall great experience!

Horse back riding magic - Despite being a terrible rider I had such a fun time. I was told I’d be picked up at 6pm and Alice arrived on time. The ranch is such a beautiful place, completely different than the rest of the island. You ride through a eucalyptus forest and beautiful rolling hills with cows and horses grassing freely. You walk up to the tallest point and watch the beginning of the sunset and get the enjoy it on your way back. Our guide (his name escapes me) wasn’t fluent in English, but he tried his best and could be understood. He stopped and took photos for us (another participant and I). The horses are beautiful and are so healthy. You can tell everyone who works there loves their job, maybe except for my stubborn horses 😜😜
I would 100% do this again and recommend you book this.
Bonus: if you’re lucky you might spot some chickens, cat or dog.
Warning: if you’re not an avid rider, be prepared to be sore. Bring as little as possible since you’ll be carrying it.

Do not book this tour - I definitely not recommend this company. I had been waiting in the hotel for 1 hour and I still wasn't picked up. I tried to contact the tour operator but didn't get any response. I felt very disappointed.
