AMAZING ANAKENA ON YOUR OWN
Enjoy your free time after a short transfer to a rare sandy beach and discover one of the most historic sites on Easter Island on this half-day excursion to the heart of Rapa Nui National Park.
Excursion Details
After the transfer, you will arrive at the legendary Anakena beach, with white sand, coconut trees, crystal clear waters, and ahus steeped in history where, according to oral traditions, Chief Hotu Matu’a landed with the first settlers and which later became a ceremonial center linked to the sacred Rongorongo tablets.
One of only two sandy beaches along the rocky coast, Anakena is blessed with crystal clear blue water, white sand, and coconut trees. In addition, it has several moai (the monumental statues for which Easter Island is famous), arranged in an ahu or traditional meeting place. Upon arrival at Anakena, you will be free to visit the Ahu Nao-Nao archaeological site, sunbathe, and swim.
Important Information:
The price of the excursion includes the admission fee to Rapa Nui National Park. The site has a remote infrastructure, with few restaurants and limited access to restrooms. US dollars and Chilean pesos are accepted. Guests who wish to swim should bring swimwear and a towel. This tour may have several departures during the day.
