Sun rise at
TONGARIKI
We begin very early in the morning and head toward Ahu Tongariki, the largest ahu on Rapa Nui, home to the 15 moai aligned facing the ocean.
During the journey, we arrive before sunrise to witness one of the island’s most special moments: as the sun slowly rises over the horizon of the Pacific Ocean, illuminating the moai and creating a unique landscape filled with energy.
This experience offers each visitor the opportunity to enjoy the sunrise in a personal and meaningful way. More than a traditional tour, it is an outing designed for contemplation and connection with the place at your own pace. The guide accompanies the group while respecting this moment, allowing everyone to experience and feel it in their own way.
