Crater tour with a very wise local guide - Mai was an outstanding guide to the island and its sites with a wealth of knowledge. She was warm and personable, answered all our oddball questions, and gave us real insights into island life. The volcanic crater was magnificent, and the moai are breathtaking.

Did not happen, no communication - Tour did not happen. Booked a half day tour of the crater and caves ended up on a 10 hr tour of the moai sites. We were travelling with our two small children (1 & 4) and at no point did they say our tour had changed. It was also not private and we had to drive ourselves. The lack of communication was shocking.
