Highlights
- Ahu Vaihu - In Vaihu, a replica of the ancient villages where our ancestors lived was made, in order to know what their daily life was like and the various structures that made it up, such as chicken coops, stone gardens, boat houses, among others.
- Ahu Akahanga - Oral history, which is the main source of history on the island, tells that the remains of the first king of Rapa Nui, Hotu Matu’a, lie there, who are missing. You can also see an original village with its structures and platforms, with moai in front of it.
- Rano Raraku - The largest ceremonial center in the Pacific, which had to be restored after one of the most immense catastrophes recorded, a tsunami caused by the Valdivia earthquake. The entire restoration was possible thanks to the great contribution of Tadano and Sano, of Japanese origin. This place is better known as the platform of the 15 moai.
- Ahu Tongariki - The largest ceremonial center in the Pacific, which had to be restored after one of the most immense catastrophes recorded, a tsunami caused by the Valdivia earthquake. The entire restoration was possible thanks to the great contribution of Tadano and Sano, of Japanese origin. This place is better known as the platform of the 15 moai.
- Ahu Te Pito Kura - Here resides the largest moai ever erected on its platform, the Paro moai. At an impressive 10 meters high and weighing around 88 tons, it was crowned the largest on its platform. Next to him is a mysterious round magnetic stone known to disorient compasses, in addition to possessing particular energies.
- Anakena Beach - Anakena, originally named Hanga Rau o Te Ariki, meaning ‘king’s landing bay’, was the intended location for the people, led by King Hotu Matu’a, to colonize the island. Over time, this area became an exclusive space for royalty. Anakena has a white sand beach unique in the world, crystal clear waters and is located between palm trees and Moais.

Amazing Rapa Nui full day tour - On 10 May 2024 visiting Rapa Nui (Easter Island) we were on a full day tour provided by Mahinatur company.
This tour was purchased in Novemvber 2023 via Viator. The tour covered the following places: Rano a Raraku, Tongariki, Akahanga, Pitokura, Anakena.
From the morning till lunch time the weather was OK and we visited several major places. But after the lunch time, the weather changed having sometimes heavy rain with strong wind especially visiting magnetic stone and sand beach (Anakena).
Having relatively high precipitation in that place it is impossible to get perfect weather conditions when the booking is made well in advance.
This tour was booked through a third party, Viator and their price was almost 2.5 times more expensive that buying the same tour from Mahinatur directly.
