This tour stands out because it is designed especially for cruise passengers. We adapt to the actual hours of the tenders, carry out the pick-up at the port and organize the route to ensure the return before the last tender.

The experience is done in a small group, with local guides, welcome with flower necklaces and interpretive material to better understand the history, moai, legends and living culture of Rapa Nui.

In a single day, travelers can discover some of the most important places on the island: Rano Kau, Orongo, Rano Raraku, Ahu Tongariki, Anakena and Ahu Akivi, combining volcanic landscapes, archaeology, tradition and a safe and well-organized experience.

Pickup details:

We will be waiting for you at the port of Hanga Piko, where cruise passengers usually disembark in Rapa Nui. If the cruise ship designates another disembarkation point, we will adapt to the port indicated for pickup.

The team will wait for you with a sign to your name and a welcome with a flower necklace, as part of the local reception tradition on the island.

We ask you to be attentive to the moment of disembarkation and maintain good communication via WhatsApp, in order to better coordinate the encounter and expedite the collection. Once the group is assembled, we will start the tour according to the actual disembarkation schedule and cruise operation.
