Great guide, great experience - A really good day trip around Rapa Nui, which became an excellent trip because of Frank, our guide. We visited most of the important places in the island and Anakena, the best beach at the island

Good experience on the tour to Hotu Matua - We took the full day tour Hotu Matua and it was an excellent experience. The tour was very well organized, the transfer was comfortable and the guide delivered interesting information throughout. We were able to get to know different places on the island in a calm and well coordinated way.

An amazing tour and we enjoyed very much! - Our guide is very knowledgeable with fluency English. The time to each site is managed well, excepting the beach could be better if give us a full 1 hour instead of 45-50 min.

Amazing. - Too good tour! The guide Tau was super friendly, answered all the questions we asked, you can see that she knows a lot about the Rapanui history and showed concern that we were all well, we went at our own pace. The places are wonderful!

“Discovering an extraordinary culture.” - This has been the best tour we’ve participated in. The guide was very knowledgeable about his culture, which helped us understand the whole travel experience much better. All the sites were very well maintained and easy to walk through without causing any harm to so much unknown history. We would definitely use the same agency again without any problem.

Great way to see key Rapa Nui sites - I enjoyed this tour, but wished that I’d had one more day on Rapa Nui so I could have seen the other 1/2 of the island. The guide didn’t introduce himself formally to the group, but he had quite a lot of knowledge. The highlight was the quarry, so many Moai to see: I would skip having lunch there though, as it felt expensive for what is was (and some of my chicken was not cooked). Overall this was a nice way to see some key sites on the island, and last stop is Anakena beach for a swim. I do wish that there was a 3rd option for the tour which combined the best sites from this tour and the best sites from the other tour as that would have been perfect

rushed - Not enough time at the sites, felt very rushed. I had to choose between taking photos or listening to the explanations. Get a private guide if you can.
