Live with friends Rapa Nuis its culture and customs . That's invaluable. - My 8th trip to Rapa Nui. But the first for vacation and not for work and the first with my family. A unique and wonderful experience if you go to houses of friends because you get involved in culture and customs. This is more valuable than doing the classic tours that are already wonderful.

Amazing ride to the top of Easter Island - A great ride starting from the stables, through a eucalyptus forest, past the last volcano to have been active on the island to the highest point. Tonchi and Alice were lovely people, friendly and helpful throughout. The groups are kept small (ours was just three plus Tonchi) meaning you were taught how to get the most from your horse and talked through the local area as well. The horses were well cared for, the ride was good for me as a novice and my fiancé, who can ride, had time to take her horse in front for a ‘stretch’ as well. Planting a tree at the highest point gives a great reason to go back and visit in the future to see how we’ve helped create a new woodland at the top. I would highly recommend!

Lovely horseback ride to the highest point of Rapa Nui - I was lucky that I was the only one who had booked for that day, so it was like a private tour. Everything went perfectly . When we got to the ranch, the horses were waiting for us. It was a beautiful ride through a very amazing landscape on a very windy but sunny day. Wishing I could go riding there more often. I hope the tree we planted will survive. Muchas gracias Tonchi :)

Unforgettable memories - We had the most amazing experience on Rapa Nui with Tonchi and Aliz!!! Tonchi is a patient and knowledgeable horse rider who puts you at ease and reassures you with his clear explanations in excellent English. We had the most delightful conversation on the rich culture of Rapa Nui and the history of the island. He honestly shared his views on many different topics, which was an eye-opening experience and gave us a unique and genuine perspective about the island and his natives. We are very grateful to Tonchi for generously sharing his opinions with us and to Aliz for picking us up and being so kind during the transfer. Planting a new tree in the mouth of the inactive volcano was a beautiful and touching experience for us. If you want to choose a single activity only for your stay on Rapa Nui, choose this horse-riding tour, you will not be disappointed!!!! Maururu, Tonchi and Aliz!!!

Unforgettable afternoon, not to be missed! - When planning a mother/daughter trip to Rapa Nui I was looking for something as beautiful and interesting as the Island itself for an afternoon adventure. I am so happy we booked this ride, our guide was exceptional as he shared stories of the Island, and the fauna on his land and even showed us the home he was building. It was truly one of the most beautiful rides I have ever been on and the rich history he shared was truly interesting. He gave us time alone at the mountaintop to explore, meditate, and appreciate the beauty of the land. Along the way we saw horses, and cows roaming free the way, we learned they do throughout the Island. Then we helped re-forest the Island by planting a tree in honor of my mother. Whether a family trip, a romantic trip for two, or in honor of a special event, this is a trip NOT to be missed.

A must do trip on Rapa Nui - Such a fantastic trip- we’re still talking about it days later. Tonchi and Alice were really welcoming and the location is stunning. We rode up to the highest point of the island with uninterrupted views. It was amazing! The horses were really calm, Tonchi gave us lots of advice as beginners but the trip was really relaxed and fun and suitable for all abilities. This was a highlighted of our holiday.

Top 2 Things In Rapa Nui: Moai, This Tour - This was the best thing I've done in travel all over South America. Rapa Nui is beautiful. Guides are smart, know what they're doing, and know their history. I'll be back :-)

Amazing and beautiful adventure! - Horseback riding with 'Adventure Terevaka' was an immediate highlight of an already incredible trip to Rapa Nui / Easter Island, and I'd highly recommend signing up for your own adventure. We recently booked a day-trip with fairly short notice, during the Tapati Rapa Nui, and the experience was seamless and stress-free. Alice (so friendly, kind and helpful) picked up us from our hotel promptly and took us on a short drive to the beautiful Adventure Terevaka grounds, where we met Tonchi, who would be our guide for the trip. My friend and I had some basic experience horseback riding, but Tonchi was helpful and answered all of our questions, many just about local life on the island, as we took the ride to the top of Mount Terevaka. The horses were very well cared for - Tonchi is especially affectionate and caring to them and they even lead the way for most of the trip, knowing the best trail to get to the top! At the top, we had as much time as we wanted to explore the peak and then plant trees Tonchi had brought with him, as he explained what they were and how they fit in with the local environment. Overall, the experience was maybe 2-3 hours, always safe and fun. I can't wait to return another time for the nighttime moon-lit adventure. Thank you Tonchi + Alice for your hospitality and kindness. Good luck on your future expansions and rides and congratulations for your awesome business! - Dave.

Wonderful experience (just wear pants or you'll take home scars as souvenirs) - Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take this excursion wearing shorts unless you want to lose a bit of skin on your legs from the saddle. Other than that it's a wonderful ride. Iti, the horse was gentle, the area is spectacular, the view from the top of Terevaka is spectacular and planting a tree to help with reforestation of the island was an incredible way to spend a morning on Rapa Nui. If (when) I go again I will definitely do this trip again (with pants).
