Two days on the Magical Island of Rapa Nui - Alberto was a phenomenal guide! He was incerdibly personable and knowledgable interlacing history with personal stories. When he learned that we had my father's ashes that we wanted to scatter somewhere on the coast, he took a little extra time to take us to a small area where we could access the beach within the view of a Mo'ai. It made the trip so meaningful and magical.

Excellent experience - Guide was very kind and to support all traveling matters, I believe it depends on weather if it’s nice tour.

Amazing Experience Not To Be Skipped - Alberto was an amazing guide. Our stargazing tour was cancelled due to the weather but upon hearing this, Alberto stopped so we were able to see sometime seeing the stars. It was amazing and we were in awe of seeing the night sky. Alberto told us some great places to take pictures at Tongariki and gave us as much time as we wanted to walk around a photograph the site after most people left. He also helped take photographs for us as additional moais. He even went out of his way to help us try to purchase some things we were having trouble finding. Seeing the sunrise at this site speaks to the soul.

Wow - Sebastian was an amazing guide! He was so informative and really made the experience special. He sat up chairs and brought coffee for us to sip as the sun rose. Watching the Moai appear as the sun slowly rose was magical. When the time and lighting was right he offered to take pictures of us with the Moai in the background. He answered all our questions and made us want learn more!

In deep tour of Easter island with enormous knowledge from a Rapa Nui, a descendent of key historical figure - Our tour guide Sebastian Paoa has enormous knowledge about this island, probably from his own heritage and also he was in charge of tourist business of Easter island before. He gave me many updated information of the history, the findings and current theory of moais on Easter island. He went above and beyond to show us the whole picture of East Island. In addition, I enjoy the intellectual conversation with him. I highly recommend him as a private tour guide to learn the history of Easter island.

Very Informative and Enjoyable - Sebastián is the best guide ever! He is incredibly knowledgeable and so enthusiastic about imparting the spiritual side of and facts about Rapa Nui history. He was sure to pack in a lot of information while showing us the moai and imparting the importance of their various aspects. Even though we had rain off and on, we did not mind because we were receiving valuable lessons.

Our driver’s car would... - Our driver’s car would not start so it didn’t take place. We got up early, met our driver/guide in front of our hotel, got in her car and her car would not start so it was canceled.

Never Showed Up - My guide never showed up for my private sunrise tour and did not send me any messages until later in the day. I ended up waiting in the dark for awhile until I decided to leave to try and catch the sunrise on my own in the public park area. He informed me that he would refund me but I have not received anything and it has been over a week. The company name is Kava Kava Tour and I highly do not recommend them. Viator should consider removing them from this platform.
