Mahina knows a huge amount and shares it with passion. I learned more in 4 hours than in any museum.

We got lucky with the weather and spotted a manutara. Mahina explained the Tangata Manu competition at the exact place where it took place.

Demanding but beautiful hike. Bring good shoes. Mahina waited for everyone without rushing.
Why does Sernatur certification matter?
Sernatur (Chile's National Tourism Service) keeps the official registry of tourism providers. A registered guide meets the required legal, safety and quality standards and operates formally on the island: you travel more safely and support responsible tourism in Rapa Nui.
Also, to visit the archaeological sites of Rapa Nui National Park you must be accompanied by an authorized local guide or companion.
