Ahu Akivi

4.5/5(50 reviews)

Venture inland to this sanctified site, home to a row of monumental carved stone heads created in the 16th century by the Rapa Nui people.

Ranu Kau

5/5(37 reviews)

Climb to the top of this extinct volcano for spectacular views of the ocean and the rest of this picturesque island.

Typical moai - toppled sometime before the arrival of westerners, most likely during civil wars on this resource-starved island. There is a large town site here, though all that remains are stone foundations and cave huts.

This site was part of a south coast tour led by an Australian named Bill, the husband of the lady that ran our B&B. Bill came to the island in 1992 as construction manager for Kevin Costner's film Rapa Nui, and became so enchanted that he decided to stay. He was an entertaining tour guide - witty, helpful, energetic and opinionated. He shared his take on island history
