Enchanting Easter Island, discovered by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen in 1722, has beguiled visitors with its man-made wonders and natural beauty. During this five-hour guided tour, you'll take in the astonishing sights of Ahu Akivi and enjoy a traditional umu feast. Journey via motorcoach for 30 minutes to Ahu Akivi to view the seven stone giants situated not on the coast but nine miles inland. Although they look out towards the ocean, they were originally erected to stand guard over a large village, which today lies in ruins. After filling your camera and exploring this historic site, continue on to Anakena Beach, where an authentic umu feast, a Polynesian tradition, awaits. The umu is a stone oven heated with hot lava rocks. It is the traditional way to cook, placing food directly on the rocks, wrapped in banana leaves or plaited in coconut fronds. A folkloric show entertains while you dine. Return to port after this fascinating day.

Special Notes:

A $80 National Park entrance fee is included in the cost of the tour.
