Welcome to Rapa Nui! My name is Nakia, a local Rapa Nui guide on the island. I love meeting new people, making sure you have the best possible time while you are here, and keeping you well-informed of all the extra activities going on across the island during your stay. ​My priority is ensuring every visitor gets as much as possible out of their vacation, getting to know the best locations and local cuisine available. I specialize in tailor-making your tour experience and offer unique tours featuring rare locations little known to most visitors (just ask). ​Why Explore with Me: ​Authentic Local Perspective: Being from Rapa Nui, I offer an original point of view with unique stories passed down through oral tradition in my family and culture. ​Former Park Ranger Expertise: Having worked directly as a park ranger, I know every corner, hidden trail, and location on the island completely. ​Native English Communication: Having lived in California for 16 years, I speak native English, ensuring effortless and clear communication throughout your trip. ​Tailor-Made & White-Glove Support: From 100% customized scheduling and crowd-avoidance timing to dedicated photo assistance for solos, couples, or groups, everything is adapted to your pace. ​I look forward to meeting you on this trip and making it a most memorable experience for you and your loved ones.

    Had a wonderful day! Our guide helped to make sure we saw what we wanted to and showed us his island ! Make sure you try the pineapple snacks! We were heartbroken when our second day got cancelled because the tender boats weren’t safe to run. I was looking forward to more pineapple! Thanks for the day.
