Sebastián Paoa Á. is a consummate storyteller, historian, and guide. His passion and deep love for Rapa Nui is heartfelt and earnest. My friend Barbara McCrary and I were thoroughly entertained and educated by the breadth and depth of his knowledge. He always wanted to go deeper than a shallow explanation.
The history and mystery surrounding the moai were fascinating--especially the possible ways the moai were moved. The Birdman competition is unique, a captivating tale. The National Park is a national treasure and should be funded properly with an administrator focused solely on the proper maintenance and care of it. Rapa Nui has a rich history which is deftly described by Sebastián.
The volcanic crater and the beach were spectacular sights to visit. Sebastián not only provided detailed descriptions of all the attractions, but also knew exactly where to pose us with the moai statues for a once-in-a-lifetime photo. And the tuna steak lunch was delicious. My friend Barbara does not like fish, and she loved it!
Plus, I left my portable phone charger in Sebastián's car, and he called me twice the next morning before personally delivering it to my hotel. He is the best!!! This tour was definitely worth the price. You will NOT be disappointed.

We had a great experience on this tour seeing all the key Moay and ahu sights. We were met in the morning by a driver and our personal tour guide, Christina. Christina was great. She’s from Rapa Nui herself and is exceptionally knowledgeable having evidently spent a long time studying the history of the island and having deep routes here. She took the time to explain, the history, background, and possible theories for what might have been going on on the island hundreds and thousands of years ago. We couldn’t recommend her enough! It was certainly money well spent on this tour given the depth and breadth of knowledge which was shared with us.

Wow - what an amazing day. We were so blessed to have Hugo as our guide of Rapa Nui (Easter Island)! Hugo is native to the island and his great grandmother is the oldest living Elder on Rapa Nui today. The wealth of his knowledge is as deep and wide as the ocean that surrounds this incredibly magical place. It’s always been a dream to visit Rapa Nui and see the Moai in the flesh but nothing can prepare you for the experience of that dream coming true as the magnificent Moai tower over you and you stand before the statues that you’ve seen in books since childhood finally sharing the same physical time-space! Hugo knows his island home like the back of his hand and he enjoys to share his knowledge with an attentive ear. It was truly a privilege to spend the day with him soaking up the stories like a sponge. If you’re genuinely interested in the history and you want to learn from the source then book Hugo as your guide, we highly recommend him. My heart is full as I write this on the eve of our day with him - many thanks Hugo! Marisa & Ben from Australia

Experiencing the Moai up close is truly a dream come true, and we're delighted that Hugo was able to make that dream even more magical for you. We're proud to have Hugo as part of our team, and your words are a testament to his dedication in sharing the rich stories of Rapa Nui.
Your kind recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope that the memories you've made on the island will stay with you forever. If you ever decide to return or have more questions, feel free to reach out. Wishing you all the best in your travels!

The Tour Guide, Hugo, was an amazing guide! He was very courteous, professional, friendly, & knowledgeable! It was a private tour & I felt totally safe being a solo female. He seemed to really enjoy his profession & answered my many questions about the national park, culture, history, etc... On topics that there were no known facts, he gave possible theories. At one site, the Park Rangers wouldn't allow us in because the wind level was too high. Hugo offered to possibly have someone else bring me back to that site the next day at no extra charge. I thought that was definitely going above & beyond. It showed his true dedication to his profession & the passion for wanting to share his island's history with others.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with Hugo, our tour guide! We're thrilled to hear that he provided you with an exceptional and memorable private tour on Rapa Nui.
Hugo's dedication to creating a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests is truly commendable. We're delighted that you felt comfortable and well taken care of during the tour, especially as a solo female traveler. His extensive knowledge and willingness to share insights about the national park, culture, history, and even possible theories where facts are limited, truly enhance the journey.
It's heartwarming to hear how Hugo went the extra mile by offering an alternative plan when the weather prevented access to a site. This showcases his commitment to ensuring your experience is nothing short of exceptional. We're proud to have Hugo as part of our team, and your feedback reinforces the passion he has for sharing Rapa Nui's history and culture.
If you ever plan to return to the island or have more questions, feel free to reach out. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your journey on Rapa Nui.
Best regards,
Kava Kava Tours
