Well organised and informative tour of the stunning Easter Island with a tasty lunch at the beach. - We were 50 crew on a Motor Yacht and we split into two groups of 25 for the full day tour of the Island. What an amazing Island and a the gang at Kapua Tours took very good care of us. From the initial booking process with Maururu who was communicative, full of positivity and helpful to our guides for the day, Javier and Mario with an impressive knowledge of the Island, its history, flora and fauna. The buses were comfortable, the places we were taken to covered most of the highlights of this picturesque island with a couple of pit stops for drinks, snacks and shopping for local artefacts (time spent there was dictated by us and not the guides). We opted for lunch at Anekena Beach which was a perfect setting giving the chance to cool off in the warm waters and sample fresh fish, cerviche, carpaccio etc....all served as a generous portion size. Door to door pick up and topped off with perfect weather (the weather can change multiple times in a day so be prepared).

Well spent day on island with great picture moments - We liked that we saw many things during one excursion. We came to island by cruise and most of the other excursions goes only to one or two things and we saw much more. Also Lonty was good with his insight into history of island.

Unforgettable experience - I have no words to express this inexplicable experience. At times I felt an ineffable desire for contemplation and over-shrunk. Very grateful.

Get to know Easter Islands from the most beautiful side - Our guide Baihere picked us up at the cruise port, we were already able to collect first nice impressions when sailing through Hanga Roa. Finally, we got to know many Moai statues on our tour of the island. Baihere introduced us to her island and culture, it was very interesting.
The tour is highly recommended, everything was very well organized.

Best tour ever in Rapa Nui - Our guide was so knowledgable relaxed and cool. We loved the island and we will be back someday. Itti was amazing. His family was a pillar of their community and he explained their customs and played great local music for us. It was his first tour in English and he nailed it.

Our guide got lost on his... - Our guide got lost on his way to us, but once we were in his care he gave us history and was very knowledgeable of best timing to go to sites. He took wonderful pictures of us and made traveling to the sites with ease! I do recommend bringing Chilean pesos to Anakena beach for lunch, otherwise you are limited in your selections. We did not purchase our tickets ahead of time, but our guide took us the parks office and it was quick/no detriment to our tour.

I recommend it a thousand times! 11/10 - Taking this tour was fulfilling a dream. I always wanted to visit Rapa Nui and see the moai in person, and this experience exceeded all my expectations. Our guide, Hetereki, was amazing: a very knowledgeable local guide, very entertaining and always attentive to every detail.
Although I speak Spanish, my partner only speaks English, but that wasn’t a problem because Hete managed both languages perfectly, making sure we both understood the whole history and meaning of each site.
The day was beautiful, although at one point we were surprised by the rain, which only made the experience more authentic, after all, we were on a tropical island! Everything was great fun, and you noticed the difference between a private tour and one with more people; the experience felt much more special and personalized.
Thank you very much for making our visit an amazing time. Highly recommended!

To be AVOIDED! They cancel last minute - Do NOT book with this tour operator.
They cancelled the private tour literally last minute after my sending messages to them asking about the status of it. I have made the booking at least one week before.
This is literally HORRIBLE what they do and they should be totally avoided.
Tourists travel from VERY far away for this and this is what they do to them. Just Horrible.
