Best experience of my life! - This was such a great and memorable trip! Tonchi was such a great guide and was so helpful with riding tips. The horses were very calm and well-trained and the route was just magical!

Incredible experience - My husband and I are very experienced horse riders and this was the highlight of our week at Easter Island. We bought our tickets through Tripadvisor with no problems. The horses are safe and sure-footed and the saddles are comfortable. Guide Tonchi speaks excellent English and is responsive to Whatsapp messages. He will tailor the ride to what you want - a gallop the countryside or leisurely ride to take in the scenery. We rode around the Terevaka area and northern part of the island, through eucalyptus forest, huge grass pastures of cows and horses, and along sweeping scenery of the coast. It was absolutely breathtaking. We finished the ride into the sunset and under the stars of the night, where the horses took us home in total darkness. I will never forget this experience.
