Moais of Ahu Akivi, Caves & Panu Pau Crater
Excursions in Easter Island

The highlight of this tour is the Ahu Akivi and its famous seven Moai statues, so synonymous with the remote Pacific Island. We will leave Hanga Roa and drive through beautiful hills to our first stop; the ceremonial place of Tahai. We then continue our drive to Ana Te Pahu, a cave that was created from the floating lava of the volcano, and the guide will explain to you the history of this place.

We will proceed to Ahu Te Peu, a former village where we can see an ancient 3 metre stone wall and the toppled remains of some Moai statues. Continuing our journey we will drive to the quarry Puna Pau, a crater of red Scoria, of which the Pukaos (hat-like statues which adorned some of the Moai) where built.
