At the heart of Rapa Nui, Ahu Akivi preserves one of the island’s most captivating ancestral traditions. Its seven moai, carefully aligned and facing towards the ocean, are traditionally believed to represent the seven explorers sent by the legendary king Hotu Matu’a before the arrival of the Rapa Nui people. Surrounded by gentle hills and ancient archaeological remains, this remarkable site offers a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural world of a civilization that made this remote island its home.

The waters of Anakena reveal another side of Rapa Nui, where the island’s volcanic landscape continues beneath the surface of the Pacific. Diving off this iconic beach offers the chance to explore exceptionally clear waters, volcanic formations and discover a remarkable variety of marine life shaped by the island’s unique isolation. An intimate and captivating experience that reveals Rapa Nui from a different perspective, immersed in the serenity of the ocean and the beauty of its underwater world.

On the southwestern edge of Rapa Nui, Rano Kau captivates with the vastness of its volcanic crater, where a shimmering lagoon and lush vegetation create an almost surreal landscape. From its slopes, the Pacific stretches endlessly towards the horizon, revealing one of the island’s most breathtaking panoramas. Nearby, the ceremonial village of Orongo recalls the ancient Birdman tradition, bringing together landscape, history and spirituality in a setting of extraordinary presence.

Journeying through Rano Raraku, Tongariki and Anakena reveals some of the most extraordinary places on Rapa Nui.

The journey continues to Anakena, one of the island’s most iconic beaches, where moai, palm trees and the Pacific create a landscape of striking beauty.
