Iorana, my name is Patricia and I will be your tour guide on Easter Island! Easter island or Rapa Nui as it is named by the locals, has such a rich Polynesian culture and history that touring with an experienced guide is a must. We pride ourselves in being part of an ancestral culture that is still alive, the sacred energy of the ancestors still being present on every corner of this island, in its people, its landscapes and the ocean. I am a certified local guide with fifteen years of experience. I lived in Australia for ten years and finished my studies there, so I am a fluent English speaker. My speciality are private tours. My training began as an assistant guide to leading archaeologists where I learned about the archaeology and anthropology of Easter island in-depth. Having been raised on the island I have the background information on oral tradition and everyday island living. I am also a mother, I love cycling and water activities so I try to get out and practice as much as possible. This island has beautiful weather so that's always a possibility. I have a fun and easygoing personality and I love my job so I try to pass on all that passion to each and every one of my clients! Come and visit Easter Island with me and experience the magic of an unforgettable destination! I am a certified local guide, authorized by the administration of the Rapa Nui National Park to work within the sacred sites. I have been a guide for just over twenty years. My tours are pre-designed for 2 people, please enquire for bigger groups.

Easter Island is more that just Moai statues, this tour will show you just that! We will travel past the rocky coast and deep blue colored waters of this volcanic island and also through its inner hills with more than 70 volcanic formations. One of the highlights will be Ahu Akivi with its astronomically oriented platform and restored statues which can also be explained by the island's oral tradition. Vinapu with its perfect ancestral architecture that will remind you of the Peruvian ruins. Finally the Tangata Manu or the birdman ceremony held at Orongo with the perfect view of the Motus where once upon a time dozens of migratory sea birds nested in the time of spring and where a great cultural change occurred during the 18th and 19th century.
The tour begins when I pick you up from the hotel to visit the archaeological complex of Tahai, then we head inland to Ahu Akivi, the only moai platform that faces the sea. Continuing the inland route we reach Puna Pau, the quarry where red topknots or pukao were made. We can stop for lunch back in town or continue the tour in one go. We continue to the south coast of the island to visit the Vinapu site with toppled statues to learn about perfect building techniques of the Ahu. We finally head for Rano kau crater and the ceremonial village of Orongo. Return to the town of Hanga Roa and the hotel.
