Rano Kau and Orongo: Half Day Private Tour
One of the most important sites on Rapa Nui is the Rano Kau volcano: a massive caldera with a freshwater lake and breathtaking views from multiple angles. This half day tour starts at the right time to avoid the busy hours and try to give you a more intimate experience in these legendary landscapes.
The Ceremonial Village of Orongo was the capital of the Bird Cult and Birdman competition ceremonies every spring during the later stages of Rapa Nui's history. We move slowly along the trail enjoying amazing views and stopping to hear new insights about the island's heritage and history.
Private service only with limited availability. Due to new regulations all visits to Orongo Ceremonial Village are subject to wind conditions.
