Witness a magical sunrise at the 15 Moai Ahu (platform)
Overview of your Hanga Roa tour
This 3000-ton monument shows the resilience of Rapa Nui culture. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery at Rapa Nui's largest and most iconic moai platform, Ahu Tongariki. Watch as the 15 towering moai are slowly illuminated by the rising sun, creating a magical and unforgettable moment for you and your loved ones. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Rano Raraku Volcano, where these statues were carved, this site was once a sacred village where multiple tribes united. As we explore both the front and back of the platform, including hare vaka and mana vai, you'll witness the ingenuity, unity, and enduring spirit of Rapa Nui culture. A peaceful, powerful start to your day.
