Three great days out on Rapa Nui with Green Island Tours! - We had several activities booked through Green Island Tours for our four-day visit to Easter Island; our first day was an island "highlights" tour, the second day was a six-hour trekking adventure to the top of one of the craters and the third day was a sunrise visit to the Moai monuments at the beach. All of these activities were private activities with only the two of us and our guide, YoYo. We had an excellent time on all of these activities; YoYo was a fantastic guide and he clearly has great pride in being Rapa and showing his home to visitors. With a mixture of historical perspectives, philosophical musings, humor and deep knowledge about the island, the Rapa culture and the history of the monuments and places, YoYo immersed us in the history, customs and lifestyle of island living. Except for the time that he was away at university, YoYo grew up on the island and is raising his family there. YoYo speaks excellent English and was extremely interactive during all of our activities; more importantly, he instinctively knew when to tell a story and when to allow us to simply marvel at the sanctity of some of the sites. It was truly awe-inspiring to take in the island in this way; it is clearly a special place. Most importantly, YoYo made us feel welcome and comfortable as visitors to his world; he was prompt in picking us up in the morning and was very mindful of our comfort when hiking or when in the car on our way to various sites. We joked how everyone was seemingly related on the island and he seemed to know everyone. He was extremely flexible with our schedule and allowed enough free time for us to hang out at the beach or to spend a little more time at one of the many sites. Although he has been leading tours for many years, we never felt like he was telling us stories by rote or routine; he was clearly engaged in all of the discussions about the sites, the history, the special plants and animals on the island and the activities of his own childhood. He helped make the visit unforgettable for us. We were also fortunate to visit Rapa Nui during the Tapati festival, which was a special view into Rapa culture and the importance placed on their history. Although there were many visitors at these activities, we truly got the sense that this festival was *for* the Rapa people *by* the Rapa people and that they would be holding the same activities regardless of whether there were any visitors. That experience was also very cool and YoYo gave us special information about which activities to watch as several of his children were participating at various times during the festival. Green Island Tours was very flexible to work with and communicated very well; we would recommend them highly for future tours. They made excellent suggestions to help tailor a schedule for us that worked for our visit. Even though we visited during the high season and there were many tour groups of ten or more people at the monuments, we always felt the privacy and intimacy of our days out with YoYo.

Exquisite experience! - The Moai Monuments Tour is an excellent summary of the highlights of Easter Island, and I can certainly recommend it to everyone visiting the island. The tour covers all "must see" places for which the island is famous. Also, the guides are very knowledgeable and speak English very well. Amazing experience!

A Day to Remember - There are no words to describe the magical experience of being on this Island. Our guide Marc took the day and showed us why anyone would fall in love with this incredible Island.

Fantastic 3 days of tours - We booked 4 trips with Green Island tours, they were fantastic from the time of booking to completing the trips. Due to flight changes we had to change a couple of our dates and they were excellent at communicating with us and were able to swap dates which was amazing and we really appreciated their understanding and help. Sadly we couldn't do the stargazing which was one of the trips booked due to weather but again the communication with Green Island was great and they can't control the weather! The other 3 tours were 2 full days and a sunrise, we had Yo Yo as our guide for the 3 days and he was excellent. He is so passionate about the Island and its history and he really brought it all to life for us. We had the most amazing time on Easter Island and we can't thank Yo Yo and Green Island tours enough for exceeding all our expectations and making our visit so magical. Book with Green Island tours and you won't be disappointed.

Exceeded expectations - Absolutely faultless tour. Ludo my guide had an incredible knowledge and passion. We visited all the important sites associated with the Moai’s, he inspired me to ask questions and was happy to take photos. Pickup was on time and I didn’t feel rushed at any point on the tour. A day to remember for a lifetime. Thank you

A Wonderful Immersion in History and Culture - We were so lucky to have unbelievably wonderful guides. We visited many sites and learned so much about Rapa Nui history and culture. I left the island with so much knowledge and peace, knowing that an exceptional group of people exist and this tour company is so committed to sharing what they know and have.

Excellent guides and an excellent experience - I knew that going to Easter Island was going to be a life-changing experience, so the bar was always going to be set high. And yet I was still blown away. It's a testament to how awesome our guides were. Highly recommended in every way possible.

Superstar Rap-Nui Tour Guide ! - What a fantastic experience with Marc touring Rapa Nui . His passion for the island really was felt and for a while I felt like a true local. Additionally, Marc's eye for the camera truly captured the beauty of the island and left me with memories that I will take with me forever. Marc also opened up his home to me when I needed some Starlink internet for work - forever grateful!

En-RAP-tured by Rapa Nui - At the age of 77, and fascinated with Rapa Nui since Thor Heyerdahl’s Aku Aku, I finally visited this mystical island two weeks ago with my son and his wife. Fortunately, my son had set us up with Green Island Tours. Tour guide Marc proved to be well schooled in the archaeology, history, and lore of the island, and he made Rapa Nui and its intriguing moai come alive for us. He was quite generous with his photographic expertise and assisted us in getting the best possible shots. After 2-1/2 days exploring the island with him, we found ourselves wishing we had earmarked more time for touring with him. We got abundant bang for our buck. Green Island earned an 11 out of 10 in our book.

Well organized group - Did three days of touring with Marc’s group and it was amazing! Five stars for sure! Everyone loved it.
