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.

Overview of your Hanga Roa tour

My Sunrise Tour is one of the most unforgettable experiences that you can live on Easter Island, it will give you a chance to revisit this majestic platform but in very different light conditions. The sun rises exactly behind the platform in the summer months (October to April) and the rest of the year behind the Poike volcano. You will be back in town and at the hotel in time to enjoy your breakfast feeling completely energized from this early morning experience. The perfect location for a magical, picture-perfect start of the day.

Pretty much the same as our previous tour with Patricia: Our experience can be summed up in three words: Best. Guide. Ever. Although there were many people there, Patrician made this tour very special. She pointed out the best place to wait for sunrise. In addition, she very thoughtfully provided chairs so we could sit and wait for the sun to come up, instead of standing. It is these small but extremely thoughtful touches that make her such a great guide. Every minute spent with her was entertaining, engaging and valuable My advice: this is the person you want guiding you in this most special of places. Book early so you won't be disappointed, and know that you are in for a marvelous experience.

Patricia was wonderful! In addition to positioning us to have the best experience for the sunrise over Tongariki, she shared her extensive knowledge about the history and culture of the Rapa Nui including some information we had not learned on previous tours. In addition we discussed her and her family's life on Rapa Nui giving us a better understanding of the culture today.

Our Easter Island visit was amazing, and a large part of that is due to Patricia. Her knowledge of the Rapa Nui people, their history and the Moai was exceptional, and was presented in English in a very nice, conversational method. This day was perfect. Thank you, Patricia!

Your Hanga Roa tour itinerary

The tour begins when I pick you up from the hotel. We then travel for approximately 35 minutes along the coastline road until we reach the east coast and the Ahu Tongariki site. We spend an hour approximately watching/photographing the sunrise and then return to the town of Hanga Roa and the hotel. Consider bringing a torchlight.
