“Recommendation: book your experiences on the high street rather than through Viator. Throughout, communication from Viator and the agency were poor. English speakers note: this is not an English tour. For most of the experiences we were the only English people, which was a disappointment as part of the fun is interacting with other tour members.

Transport from central Hanga Roa lodging and English or Spanish guiding are included. Esteban is one guide praised for clear English and engaging explanations.

“The entire tour lasting for two and half day, is really worthwhile of recommendation. First the transport, though picking up for everyone might take like almost an hour, still left nothing to be desired. During the 2.5 days tour ,what has brought me into another sight of Rapa Nui is from the handsome guide, Estebam.who comes with an incredibly fluently English speaking. Really gained so much about Moai that once was just a pronoun of cuteness .highly recommended”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 17 reviews · 3 days · from $240

Explore San Pedro de Atacama’s main sights in four outings over three days: Rainbow Valley and Moon Valley on day one, salt lagoons on day two, and El Tatio Geyser at sunrise on day three. Groups are capped at 15, with English, Portuguese, or Spanish guides, hotel pickup in central San Pedro, and meals or snacks included.

“Juste un point d’attention parfois les consignes d’avant excursion ( eau, vêtement, ….) n’étaient pas toujours très claires ou uniformes entre les guides et le site. Certaines activités sont à régler avant, d’autres après, en ligne ou en espèces : si tout pouvait être réglé avec la réservation ce serait top ! J’ai apprécié la confiance et l’honnêteté des personnes, et également la dégressivité des tarifs selon l’âge”
