This photo tour combination includes a private Astrophotography tour and to be part of The Rapa Nui Stargazing Experience (shared - max 10 people).

For avid photographers and enthusiasts, our photography tours aim to get the best light at the best times. Astrophotography is one option, but we also run day photo tours (beginning before sunrise and running through to mid morning, or beginning in the afternoon and running through to sunset).

You will be with a knowledgeable guide who will also be able to tell you about the history of the island, although more focus is on the photography.

We can do both places (Anakena & Ahu Tongariki) for Stars to Sunrise tours and more places on Day Photo tours.

IMPORTANT: Photography tours are intended for personal, non-commercial use only, and photos cannot be used for profit.
