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.

The adventure begins in Mahatua, where we will enter the volcanic landscapes of Poike, a remote sector of Rapa Nui. During the tour we will get to know Maunga Vai to Heva, a place surrounded by stories and ancestral traditions. We will continue towards Pu a Katiki, one of the peninsula's craters, from where we can appreciate the impressive volcanic geography and the landscapes that characterize this territory. Later we will visit Ana or Keke, also known as Ana Hue Neru, a cave linked to the ancient tradition of the Uka Neru, young people who remained sheltered as part of cultural practices of the Rapa Nui people. Finally, we will cross the Maunga Teatea sector, enjoying little-known landscapes and stories of the island, before returning to Mahatua to finish the hike. Throughout the experience, the local Rapa Nui guide will share stories and knowledge that connect these landscapes with the culture of the ancestors.
