PERFECT! - We had a great 2 day tour time...the first day was a chick, the second day a guy...both were very thorough and well versed on Easter Island places and people... we had a great time and recommend the 2 day tour for people because at $340 for 2 days that's $170 for one day and only $85 per person per day...the tour on each day lasts about 6 hours and you get to see everything their is to see that is not in Hanga Roa...which you can see when you are not on a tour....bring sunscreen, water just in case....this is a complete tour and you get to see the volcano, caves ( I went inside one) , stone Moai statues the whole shebang...everything good...they picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel Tauraa which I also recommend to everyone as it is perfect place to stay in Hanga Roa....

Easter island 2 day tour - We saw many sights on the first day, which was well coordinated. The second day we were picked up an hour later as our tour guide’s wife had gone into labour. New tour guide did a good job. Lunch stop should have been included on the second day, it was good that we brought lots of snacks.

2-day island tour - The tour was very nice and we learned a lot about this wonderful island and its history with a wonderful conclusion at Anakena Beach on Feb. Hi. On the first day we were a rather large group with 15pax which was not so great, but José our guide and Agatha our young translator were very great and tried to please everyone. The tour is highly recommended👍

The tours were conducted... - The tours were conducted by a bilingual guide and our guide spent 75% of his time talking to the Spanish speaking participants and 25% of his time addressing English speakers and this process significantly limited our time and access to view the different sites. Secondly,the tour operator failed to clean the interior of the van on a daily basis.

First Day Wonderful, Second Day - Horrible - We booked 2 day tour via Viator - first day was phenomenal and our guide was very informative, spent time explaining and had deep knowledge about everything related to the archeological sites. On our second day, the tour guide was not informative, rushed through a whole day tour and finished in 1/2 day, left the tour at 2pm , started the tour late around 10:30am, had to be prompted to explain, explanations were all incorrect and did not care at all.

Spanish only and poorly planned. - The information promised tours in English. On day 1 there was a translator, a very sweet young woman, whose English was about equal to my Spanish--very basic. She could tell me this was a house, that was a statue but only the barest minimum about the deeper meanings. Day 2 was a nightmare. A driver picked me up and we rode around two hours picking up other guests. This meant long waits in a very hot van sitting in the sun while the driver looked for people. Then via another guest who spoke some English I learned our guide had canceled. We waited for a new guide who came but she didn't speak English. I had no idea what we were doing. I was severely dehydrated by this time and getting dizzy. We were led to a dark cave and I couldn't get my phone flashlight to stay on so was in danger of falling. The guide did try to help. The only time I understood what was going on was when the exhibit had English captions. I was not able to ask questions and the guide ignored non Spanish speakers since there was no way to communicate with us. Very disappointing and a total waste of money.

A little more empathy with tourists! - Review Hotumatur Agency I also took this data out of the group so I also left the info here. I bought the most common tours with them, about a fortnight of December, a month before traveling, they had been stipulated on January 17 and 18 for them, including dawn the morning of the 17th, the day before I contacted Andrea who was the person who sold me, I asked if they were going on the tour because it was raining a lot and you heard storm coming, the weather also indicated heavy rain, to which she replies that on the island the activities are done with or without rain, I ask if I can re-schedule and she says no because they are in the height of high season, which I said well we will have to open; they passed me looking for type 5:30 am, it was raining hard, we barely got to the place started to rain even harder, several elderly people returned to the van, we were more than an hour standing in the rain that at that point were not 2 drops, it was very intense rain, of 14 people, we were 4 waiting, until the guide says: I feel that it is darker than when we arrived hahaha and indeed, there were pure black clouds covering the little light that was at that time, of course of dawn nothing! We were dropped off at the lodgings, I had the tour later that starts with the volcano, it rained but the sky fell, I write to Andrea, I have no answer, I also did not know the pickup time, I approach the hotel counter and I am attended by another person, Gonzalo, I ask him if he is going on the tour and he tells me obvious, they are going to look for you now, I am going to enlist, they pass me to look, it rained that the sky fell, the power had gone out even, it was storm, they pass me look, I make the comment to the guides who should suspend and they tell me here with the agency never suspend the activities, it is done as it is, okay; we go up to the volcano and we find out that they had closed the park, we climbed the same, of course they returned us the road was full of mud, a very communicated girl approaches the guide to tell him what he could do because this was his last day, and that he wanted to see if or if the volcano, the guide tells him that he has to talk to the agency; later we went to the point of the platforms, I saw several people fall, everything was very slippery with the mud, at this point I was already well burned, and the guides tell me but ask that they regenda if you have more days, if you are paying, and of course if I am emboldened and wrote to Gonzalo, I immediately tell him that if I can regenda that there is no problem, then also that I feel with the judgment that is the person who attends to you. The days I re-acquired were correct, but all the above overshadowed it so I don’t feel like referring to that. Just as with the theme cabins there are many agencies and people who work as guides who surely have more empathy with the tourist than this agency, obviously nature can not be controlled, but the actions of people can. Cheers!

Avoid this tour - Transportation was poor - 2 pickup trucks used to transport 8 of us - people crammed into the backseats. Trucks were dirty. Tour was late in starting by 90 minutes due to a confusion by the operator regarding a guest who was not scheduled to attend until the next day. Tour guide did not understand English - very difficult understanding him.
