This enjoyable three hour tour is designed for those who wish to take in the sights. First, you'll travel through the stunning terrain to Ahu Akivi, which offers commanding views of seven stone giants. According to ancient legend, these 14 feet tall moai represent seven young explorers. Next, is a stop at Vaihu where you'll find moai and the ruins of an old temple. Your final stop is the moai complex called Ahu Tahai. These five silent stone figures are all very different from each other in scale and shape. Yet each are perched atop ahu, or stone altars, all with their backs to the sea. Here is where you'll find the renowned Ko Te Riku, the moai with the mesmerizing black and white eyes. Then, enjoy another scenic ride back to the pier.
