The theme

The Experience

Gain exclusive access to the Rano Raraku volcanic crater after the national park gates have closed to the general public. Guided by a native Rapa Nui archaeologist, you will walk among the hundreds of half-carved stone giants in the absolute silence of the Pacific dusk, uncovering the oral histories and engineering mysteries of the island's ancestral kings. A soulful, high-privilege immersion into the megalithic soul of the world's most remote inhabited island.
