Live Rapa Nui from the inside with a local native company dedicated to keeping the culture of the island alive. At Maori Tour Rapa Nui, every experience is guided by a young and enterprising team, descended from Rapa Nui families who preserve stories handed down from generations.
We run small group tours to offer a real connection to each site. Rather than dates, we share ancestral stories, family memories and the authentic vision of those who grew up on this sacred land. Thus, each place comes alive and allows travelers to feel the essence of Rapa Nui.
Explore moai, ceremonial villages and volcanic landscapes with passionate local guides who share the mana and vivid spirit of the Rapanui people.
Book now and discover Rapa Nui with those who call it home.
