Operated by Tangol · Hanga Roa, Easter Island
Embark on an enlightening journey through the enigmatic landscapes of Easter Island, starting from the lively village of Hanga Roa. Follow the fabled route of Hotu Matu’a, the legendary first king, as you delve into ancient mysteries. Your adventure begins at Ahu Akahanga, the final resting place of the monarch, before you ascend to Rano Raraku, an ancient quarry where nearly 400 moai statues stand, frozen in volcanic stone. At Ahu Tongariki, feel history reverberate through the island’s largest ceremonial platform, embellished with fifteen towering moai. Visit Ahu Te Pito Kura, where the tallest moai stands guard near Te Pito o Te Henua— the 'Navel of the World', a magnetic stone said to pulse with cosmic energy. End the day at Anakena Beach, a picturesque cove believed to be the first arrival site of the island’s ancestors. With its clear waters and statues gazing over the azure waves, Anakena offers a serene close to your historical journey.
