Worth it!! - Excellent excursion. You’re pretty much paying for the pick, ride, and drop off, so no need to spend more than this to do a VIP tour. You all end up in the same field! Neat stargazing to start and then beautiful views as the sun comes up. Back to the hotel before breakfast ended!

Unforgettable experience - Our tour guide was respectful, punctual and communicative. The company made sure to get a hold of me the day before to ensure I was prepared for the trip although I made it last minute. Highly recommend this tour, it was an unforgettable experience to see the stars, Milky Way and sunrise behind the largest platform of moai on the island.

Catching the perfect... - Catching the perfect sunrise unfortunately depends on the weather and it was cloudy on my tour. But the visit was still tranquil and serene! This was a good way to squeeze in one last activity on the last day on the island before my afternoon flight.

Magical! - Best thing we did on the island. The sunrise was beautiful and not very crowded. Extremely magical. “Guide”was more a driver and chaperone than anything. Good thing we had all the info the day before when we did the full day tour. Highly recommended!

Beautiful sunrise in a beautiful place - The view of the sunrise over the Moai was amazing, and worth going. This was not a tour, however. I would just call it an uncomfortable taxi ride to the site. Our guide seemed to have trouble finding the hotels if the other folks on the ride, and we were picked up first and dropped off last. We were ready at 6:00 am for an 8:30 sunrise. That part was a little frustrating.

Magical place! - A great time! The sunrise on this mythical site is to be seen! It was great to get there first, again last night. Our driver was very kind but did not speak English as stipulated! It’s a shame to leave as soon as the sun rises, we would like to stay longer but I understand that there is a schedule. In any case experience to try!

Sunrise Tour - Seeing Togariki at sunrise is a must do. It’s absolutely stunning. The place fills up with more people at Sunrise than it did during my daytime tour I took the day prior. I almost had the place to myself then (during peak season). My only criticism of the tour was the actual tour group and their lack of communication. I had almost no idea what time I’d get picked up until they were there outside the hotel. I’d been up for hours (part of that waiting outside in the dark with nobody to contact).

Fabulous Sunrise with Moai Experience - Sunrise was amazing. However please note this was not a tour as such but rather transport to the location and back. No information given or shared. The location for the sunrise was one of the best experiences on Easter Island.

Nice scenery but tour itself didn’t work out - Don’t do a shared tour for sunrise. We had to pick up about eight separate people/pairs, meaning everyone had to be up way early and ready way before actual pickup because times are conservative estimates…and we still didn’t make it there for the best morning light (though we may have been there for technical sunrise; it was hard to tell with the clouds). Splurge and do the private tour for this particular experience—you’ll be glad you did.

It’s just a ride in a crowded, dirty van, not a tour - Honestly, this tour was not very good. The pick up was late, no English spoken, crowded, dirty van, no coffee or tea as promised - nothing else provided or organized, it was just basically a ride. It was an amazing to contrast this because I took a stargazing tour the night before and it was excellent. I do NOT recommend this tour - pass.
