explora RAPA NUI

Explorations

At explora Rapa Nui we offer more than 15 different explorations. On foot or by bicycle, for a couple of hours or a full day, gentle or more physically demanding.

Our range of explorations enable you to get to know in depth the culture and geography of Rapa Nui with its ancestral, megalithic constructions and the special idiosyncracies of its people.

More extensive explorations include open-air picnics.

The explorations are safe and made up of groups with a maximum of 8 people, accompanied by an expert bilingual guide. All our guides speak excellent Spanish and English and some also speak French and German.

Each afternoon, one of our guides will meet with you in the lodge bar to tell you about the explorations planned for the following day and help you with the challenging task of choosing between different options, all of them exciting.

Our guides hold substantial knowledge about the area and all have Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, which ensures that they have the expertise and skills necessary to provide assistance to people in remote places.

 
Cycling trips

Cycling trips

At explora Rapa Nui we offer a range of explorations by bicycle on gently sloping terrain. These explorations enable you to get to know the flora and local subsistence agriculture and view the moai and other archaeological remains from the island's days of splendor centuries ago. You can also enjoy the island's beaches, amongst other things.

The routes have different levels of difficulty, which makes them ideal for the whole family to enjoy.

We provide all the equipment needed: Cannondale and Trek bicycles with front shock absorbers, helmets and gloves for a great Rapa Nui bicycle tour.

If you would like to go by yourself to the town of Hanga Roa, 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the lodge or to the Oahe and Anakena beaches, a similar distance away – highly recommended outings– we will have one of our bicycles ready for you. Please make arrangements with the reception desk.
