Crickey, this is the best tour I have ever undertaken. What a great Tour Guide Nakia is. He is passionate and knowledgeable about Rapa Nui and when he knew I had limited time on the island he packed in a full (and I really mean FULL) day of sights and stories. He asked what I wanted to see, advised on what would be best and off we went! He never rushed, but took a steady pace. I even had time to have a nice lunch. It has been a dream of mine to visit Rapa Nui since I was a child and having travelled 8500 miles to do so, I wanted the best guide. Nakia is that person : ) Let’s be clear, these tours are not the cheapest, but in my opinion they are the best. Nakia is flexible in creating an incredible itinerary for you, and ultimately that’s what you want for your precious time and your hard earned cash.

All-Day Rapa Nui Tour (Tailor-Made)
Overview of your Hanga Roa tour
In this wonderful adventure we will get to know many of the most awe inspiring sites that Rapa Nui has to offer. The customer will be able to choose the locations we visit tailor-making his experience and memories. With more than 30 amazing sites to choose from, I recommend the client book 1-3 of these tours. The tour last 9 hours total including a 1.5-2 hour max lunch-break. The tour takes place during the national park's complete open available visiting hours: 9:00AM-6:00 PM. Most full day tours cover 6 locations, however we will move at a pase that is desireble to the client, meaning we will often see even twice as many locations more or less. Keep in mind that it is best not to rush and enjoy each location completely before moving on. The flexibility this tour has to offer is unequaled along with its bang for your buck. Last but not least I look forward to helping you get the most out of this marvelous vacation, with the perks that come with a guide who is a NATIVE English speaker. (you may add people)

Nakia is the best! He created a custom made full day tour that was AMAZING! Sunrise at Tongariki was out of this world and all other attractions were simply superb. Nakia is very knowledgeable about Easter Island history and explains it so well! We are very happy we selected Nakia to do this tour for us and I highly recommend him!
