is it possible to have an hotel upgrade? 4star at least... cost of single room

is this tour including sunrise at Ahu Tongariki end sunset at Ahu Tahai?

Does someone (tour guide) pick up us to go on those 2 days?

The tours included in the trip are guided and includes the transfers.

We already have accommodation. Please advise if we can tour only. If so what is the price for 6 people.

Sure, we can send you the prices for just the tours. We can also offer you transfers to and from the Airport, in case you need it.

is it possible to stay in a hotel and not a hostel

Yes, we can book a 3* hotel for you.

can i reserve this booking until get flight confirmation

Sure, you can book the tour and then send us your flight information once you have it.

Could you please provide the cost of available additional tours / optional excursions (e.g., half-day or full-day activities not included in the base package)? Are there recommended excursions outside the itinerary that many travelers do (e.g., sunset tours, archaeological site visits, cultural shows, etc.)? If so, how much do those typically cost? Is the airport shuttle from the airport to the accommodation and back to the airport included?

the accommodation options available on the island are of a simple category. The hostel is quite basic, and the hotel option is considered budget. If you are looking for a higher level of comfort, we would be happy to explore better category accommodation options and send you a new quotation. Alternatively, we can prepare a proposal that includes transfers and tours, allowing you to choose the accommodation that best suits your preferences.

Is it possible to travel from Santiago for 1 person? I travel alone and would like to stay 4 days/3 nights.

We can make a personalized version of this trip where you stay 3 nights and 4 days. Would you need accommodation in Santiago pre and post Easter Island as well? In Easter Island, would you like to stay in a 3* hotel?

Would you offer a discounted 4 day tour if I have my own accommodation?

yes, we will send you the program and rate just for the tours withour accommodation.

I am looking for accommodations for that period of time or for a complete tour. What do you recommend?

We can absolutely add an additional night of accommodation to the itinerary. As for an extra tour, we will suggest options, but first, we would just need to check availability. In the meantime, feel free to let us know if you have something specific in mind for that extra time, whether you'd like to continue exploring the island, enjoy a relaxing experience, or add something a bit different.

Which date would be better to choose? 18/19th tour?

The package is a 3 nights trip. So you can chose when to arrive to Easter Island. If your flight to Hanga Roa is 18th to 22nd July, you ca ask for an extra night to make it 4 nights and have a free day to do as you please.

The tour itself was good - loved getting to see and learn about the moai. The hostel they booked me into was horrible - filthy (chicken allowed to roam in and out and poop wasn't cleaned up), unsafe (no door locks or lockers), power outlets with exposed wires, bathroom looked unsanitary, other reviews of the place mentioned no hot water, no one on-site to resolve concerns, and poor wifi. I left almost immediately when I realized there was a cat in the building, allowed to roam freely throughout and I am allergic to cats. I had to find my own replacement accommodations and Hi Travel refused to refund me for the portion of the tour package allocated for the hostel. There are many tour operators on Rapa Nui that all offer visits to the same locations (it's a small island!). I could easily have booked everything myself. Hi Travel added no value to the experience!Show more

Reply from: HI Travel South America
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tours and learning about the fascinating history of Rapa Nui and its moai. We are sorry that the hostel did not meet your expectations. The accommodation booked was a budget hostel, as clearly indicated in the package description, and we had not experienced similar complaints about this property in the past. Regarding your cat allergy, unfortunately this was not communicated to us before booking. Had we known about this important requirement, we would certainly have checked with the accommodation beforehand, as pets are not uncommon in smaller, locally run properties. We understand your decision to move to another accommodation, but as the original booking had already been confirmed and paid for, we were unable to offer a refund. We take your comments about the hostel's facilities and cleanliness seriously and will follow up with the property. We're pleased that you enjoyed exploring Easter Island and appreciate you sharing your experience.
