Private Sunrise Tour At 15 Moai Tongariki Park

Not worth $250. The guide didn’t speak much English. He was on time in the morning 👍🏼 We had a private tour with absolutely no frills. Others at the site had chairs to sit on brought by their guide. Our guide said “ here you can sit on the ground” after he took us to a spot he left. He came back about 40 minutes later, walked us around the site and then took us back to our hotel. While driving back he turned up his music in the car so we could not speak to him. Very overpriced!!!!

There is not a guarantee there will be a sunrise photo to get. Unfortunately, it was 100% cloudy for us…….bummer. Our guide was fantastic. Picked us up on time. Friendly and professional. Told us the history of the area and got us back to our hotel just fine.

Let me start by saying the Moais at sunrise were stunning! This however was not a “tour”. Our tour started 20 mins late- apparently the driver was outside on the road- we were waiting at the hotel as discussed when booking. I attempted contact via WhatsApp at 8 mins late, no answer, then called, no answer, then texted again before someone responded with a location. Our guide did not introduce himself. We had a VERY dangerous car ride out to the park. With speeds exceeding 110 k/hr on a pot hole filled dirt road. We almost left the road twice while passing other cars around curves. I do understand he was trying to get us there quickly but on an island with limited emergency services this was unacceptable. When we arrived we were off on our own- he stood in the back of the park with another guide. There were other guides that had brought picnics, flower crowns etc and were taking pictures of their clients. We asked strangers to take our pictures. Then we were driving back to our hotel. No history, no introduction or the Mois or anything. Lucky we had an excellent guide the two previous days so we knew what we were looking at. For the price tag- this was essentially an uncomfortable taxi ride. I would recommend the moais at sunrise but would pick a different company.

Beautiful sunrise, you get exactly what is advertised. Arrived early to ensure a good spot for photos.

The site is brilliant and a must at Dawn! Thanks to the tour for getting me there however for the price I would expect a little more! I had to coax information out of the guide.

See the Ahu at sunrise. While a blazing sunrise is not guaranteed, it is an amazing location. Tour was a little $$. Especially for 2 people ‘ 3-hours

Best experience, watching the sun come up behind the 15 Miao was spectacular! The cloud cover added to the impressiveness of the sunrise. Mamai is a wonderful guide; fresh local pineapple off of the tailgate at sunrise!! The best!

Maiuru collected us promptly in his car. He took us on a non-bumpy road on time to see the sunrise and helped us choose a good place to stand. Maiuru also took lots of great photos of us which we really appreciate. On the way back, he even stopped so we could take photographs of the sheep farm and also the area where the banana leaf sledding takes place, Cerro nui. We were back at our hotel in time for breakfast after about 2-2.5 hours. Take warm layers and something waterproof to sit on if you wish. Maiuru was a great driver and guide, thank you.

Absolutely an amazing experience.one of the best sunrise views I've witnessed, its because of the history behind what you are looking and surrounded with. You definitely will feel the energy of the island. It's warm and welcoming.

Amazing tour to watch the sunrise. Simply breathtaking Remember to bring a sweatshirt though - it's cold when it is still dark

Fantastic private tour. Company very well organised. Tour guide punctual at 610 am for pickup. Nice and very cheerful guy. Got the whole car and tour for myself (as a private tour, not a group). Sunrise amazing, totally worth it.

Even with a cloudy sunrise, the back lit platform was spectacular. Highly recommend the sunrise viewing.

Timely pick up. Beautiful morning. Early return by 8:30 so made hotel breakfast and a.m. check out. Worth the cost to me

Very Good pickup from the hotel, and responsive when I wanted to return. Weather did not cooperate, but I still got some very nice photo's.

This was an amazing experience! Great communication and excellent guide! I highly recommend this magical sunrise for red all who visit here!

Just being there is amazing in itself. Having the largest ahu in front of you, and a valcano behind you, gives you lots to focus on. And there is a moi on the ground in-between providing a great reference point to how big the moi are.

Great start to the day.. Picked up nicely on time, friendly and informative. Generations of the guides family have lived on the island so knows it like the back of his hand. Highly recommended..😁👍

A great start to the day..knowledgable, friendly and being from a local ranching family that has been for generations on the island, you couldn’t get a better guide..😁 Also left to wander around myself which I quite like. Highly recommended!

Javier my Guide was ready to pick myself up from my hotel at 6am for the 20 minute drive to Tongariki Park. What a splendid surprise to see and watch the sunrise slowly in the horizon behind these magnificent Moai statues. The experience of this alone was truly astounding and such a pleasure to watch. Javier provided a lot of interesting detail surrounding the history of this amazing place. Wonderful.

Javier was amazing, he came to pick me up right in front of my hotel and told me the whole history about the 15 Moai statues. I took the private tour so I have a one-on-one learning interaction and it was definitely worth it. I'll definitely book from here again. And if you decide to book from here, book Javier and he'll make sure you get the best view of the park.

Regarding the activity, if the weather is there, which has not been the case today, beautiful photos in perspective. Regarding the guide who had to animate the activity in French, it was not the case, did not speak French, not talkative at all, served us transport!!!

be there at dawn and see the sun rise behind these giant silent inhabitants of Raoa Nui and feel part of the mystery of this unique place in the world! A wonderful experience
