Easter Island Tours

Easter Island tours by length: what one, two and three days cover

Every tour on this page starts from Hanga Roa, the town on the west coast. Rapa Nui National Park covers about 40% of the island, UNESCO says, and the tours split it into two days of driving: the south and east coast out to Rano Raraku, Ahu Tongariki and Anakena, and the west and south, from Orongo on the rim of the Rano Kau crater to Vinapu, Puna Pau and Ahu Akivi. A one-day tour does the first. A two-day tour does both. A three-day pack adds a sunrise, a cultural evening or a third tour.

Regular prices for one adult on the calendars for December 9, 2026 (the two-day tour also November 25, 2026). Koa Ma´ara Travel's program showed US$230 on March 16, 2027.

All of them collect you in Hanga Roa, except where noted below, and none includes the park ticket or lunch. Koa Ma´ara Travel runs its Anakena day on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and its two half days on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so its two days fall on two different weekdays.

The two-day tour, day by day

Day 1, south and east coast. Vaihu and Akahanga, where the moai lie toppled by their platforms; Rano Raraku, the quarry the moai were carved from; Ahu Tongariki and its fifteen moai; Te Pito Kura; and Anakena beach to end the day.

Day 2, west and south. Orongo, the ceremonial village on the cliffs of Rano Kau; the fitted stone walls of Vinapu; Puna Pau, the red quarry of the topknots; the Ana Te Pahu caves, with lanterns from the operator; and Ahu Akivi, whose seven moai face the sea.

The tour is a small group, limited to 14 participants, in a minibus, and the guides speak English and Spanish. Reviewers write about two things more than any others. Groups often mix both languages, and reviewers notice it: one on September 29, 2026 (five stars) put a less engaging second day down to the guide having to “relate in two languages”. And day 2 is shorter than day 1: reviewers wrote that it ended around 2 PM (November 23, 2025, three stars; June 14, 2026, two stars, in Spanish). Lunch is not included, and reviewers say it comes late, so bring snacks and water.

What the tour price leaves out: the park ticket

Rapa Nui National Park is run by the Ma’u Henua indigenous community, which has managed it since November 23, 2017. Its rules are short: every visitor needs a park ticket, and it is mandatory to hire a guide accredited by Ma’u Henua to enter the park. The tours on this page bring the guide; you bring the ticket.

Ma’u Henua’s prices on its ticket sale page (Tur.com), service charge included, checked November 15, 2026.

The ticket opens the park’s 12 sites for 10 consecutive days from the first site you enter, and lets you into Rano Raraku and Orongo once each, so a two-day tour and a free day afterwards fit one ticket. It is personal: show it with your passport or ID card at each site. There are no refunds, and the park asks non-Chileans to choose the foreign ticket, because the wrong one can keep you out. Fines for breaking park rules run from 5 to 100 UTM under Chile’s Law 17.288.

Easter Island private tours

A private day is priced per person with a different rate for each party size, so compare the figure for your group.

GetYourGuide calendars for December 9, 2026 (the KAVA KAVA TOURS row for January 13, 2027); Viator’s prices by party size, November 15, 2026.

KAVA KAVA TOURS sells the same private day on both sites: its six hours go to Ahu Tongariki, Rano Raraku, Anakena, Ahu Akivi, Rano Kau and Orongo.

Easterisland-yourtour's private day covers the east coast, from Vaihu to Anakena, and starts at 9:30 AM or 4:00 PM.

Tokerau Rapa Nui Adventure's two days, with a Rapanui guide, need at least two people.

The private days of KAVA KAVA TOURS, Green Island Tours - Easter Island and Easter Island Heritage are not for cruise ship passengers.

If you want a private car without a private price, Miru Ariki's full day puts groups of 1 to 4 in a private vehicle at US$150 per adult.

Sunrise at Ahu Tongariki, as part of a pack

Two of the three-day packs end one morning at Ahu Tongariki for the sunrise. RAPA NUI DREAM's pack is two full days and the sunrise, with pickup from your accommodation and guides in English, Spanish and French, at US$250 per adult, or US$980 per adult as a private pack (checked November 2026). It also sells it on Viator, from US$250 per adult, rated 4.7 from 161 reviews on Viator and Tripadvisor combined. Dreams come Tour's pack adds a cultural evening with a curanto, a buffet dinner and a dance show, and its transport covers central Hanga Roa lodgings only.

Where the pickup happens

Most of these tours collect you from your lodging in Hanga Roa. Two listings draw a line: Miru Ariki does not pick up or drop off outside the Hanga Roa urban area, and Dreams come Tour's transport covers central Hanga Roa only. Easterisland-yourtour's private day meets you in Hanga Roa, and Tokerau Rapa Nui Adventure collects you from your accommodation in the Hanga Roa area or a meeting point. So a bed inside town keeps every tour open to you.

Before you book

• Getting there. LATAM flies direct from Santiago, about 7 to 10 flights a week, in about 5 hours 40 minutes (LATAM’s route page, checked November 15, 2026). Easter Island tour packages from Santiago splits the flight, the hotel and the tours.
• One day on the island. The Easter Island day tour compares the full-day tours and what a cruise passenger can and cannot book.
• A car instead? A rental car does not replace the accredited guide inside the park: tour or car rental works out what a car is good for.
• Is it worth the trip? Is Easter Island worth it is the long answer.
