Good to know before you book

The Park entrance is not included

The tour price does not include the Rapa Nui National Park entrance, which is required to visit several of the island's archaeological sites. It is paid separately —at the park itself or online on the official Rapa Nui Park (Ma'u Henua) website— and is valid for several days. Some routes visit places that don't require it; if in doubt, your guide will be glad to advise you.

Weather and possible changes

Weather on Rapa Nui can change quickly. When conditions require it, some areas of the park close for safety and a departure may be rescheduled or cancelled. If that happens, your guide will let you know as soon as possible and arrange a new date or a refund of what you paid. A cloudy day, however, won't cancel the tour: the island is beautiful under any sky.

Guides certified by Sernatur

We work with guides listed in the official registry of tourism providers of Sernatur (Chile's National Tourism Service). That certification confirms they meet the legal, safety and quality requirements to operate formally on the island. Booking with them lets you travel with greater peace of mind and supports responsible tourism that protects the heritage of Rapa Nui.
