Join us on an exhilarating adventure to conquer the tallest peak of Easter Island, Ma'unga Terevaka, standing proud at 1,700 feet. Lace up your hiking boots and arm yourself with water as you prepare for a thrilling journey to the summit.
Your day kicks off with a scenic drive to the historic Vaitea area, once the bustling heart of the island's sheep-farming industry in the 19th century. From here, your ascent begins, gradually winding your way up the steep slopes of Mount Terevaka, the island's commanding centrepiece.
As you ascend, be prepared to be mesmerized by the sweeping panoramas unfolding around you, with the deep blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly into the horizon. Capture the breathtaking beauty of the island from its highest vantage point, filling your camera with cherished memories.
After soaking in the awe-inspiring views, begin your descent back to the motorcoach, revelling in the sense of accomplishment that comes with conquering this majestic peak. En route, pass by the legendary Ahu Akivi, home to seven magnificent statues, each facing the setting sun during the equinoxes, a testament to the island's ancient mysteries and celestial connections.
Join us on this unforgettable journey to the summit of Ma'unga Terevaka, where adventure meets unparalleled natural beauty and the spirit of Easter Island awaits.
Please note:
This tour is for guests who are physically fit and able to trek for long distances uphill over several hours. Please realistically assess your fitness level before booking. Wear sturdy walking shoes. Easter Island has a hot and humid climate. Bring bottled water from the ship; there is nowhere to purchase water on tour. Minimum age is 12 years. Walking is over uneven terrain at the volcano. Shade is limited; please dress accordingly. Bring a hat and wear biodegradable sunscreen. Tourism infrastructure is very limited on Easter Island. Transportation will be by way of several different types of vehicles, including minibuses and vans. A guide waits for you at each point of interest and provides narration and explanation with a loudspeaker rather than riding with you in the vehicle. Very few vendors on Easter Island accept credit cards; bring US dollars or Chilean pesos.
