Explore Tahai site where the morning light illuminates a restored village once settled by the ancient islanders and several moai statues stand. Your guide will explain about the religious rites and customs which made up everyday life. Visit Rano Raraku, the exceptional part of the island where literally hundreds of the megalithic statues sit in various stages of carving. This quarry of statues is the birthplace of the moai. In Tongariki, which was restored between 1992-96, note the most awe inspiring of the various platforms when you encounter 15 of the largest statues set with their stone faces in the direction toward the setting sun. At Te Pito Kura, a nearly 33 foot (10 meter) tall morai now lies as a vestige of its former glory face down on the ground. This is one of the tallest ever to be erected. The nearby magnetic circular rock formation abounds with legends that will tickle your imagination. Finally, visit Anakena Beach which belonged to the royal family in ancient times. You will see why this place would have attracted the royals or anyone for that matter. This truly one-of-a-kind place contains golden sand, coconut alms and royal moai.
Upon completion of your tour, you will return to your hotel or the cruise port for ship embarkation.
