What to expect
Start the day by being picked up from your hotel (we need the name of your hotel), with a short drive to the ranch (20 minutes) enjoying the nature along the way. Here you will meet your horse and the guide of the activity. Then we start the ride to the top of Mount Terevaka passing through a eucalyptus forest. Here the sounds of birds and crickets take over the place. Leaving the forest we come across the soft meadows of the upper part of the mountain. A perfect place to enjoy the view and the wind. Upon reaching the top you can see the entire Island and the sea that surrounds us in 360 ° without interruption.
But the main purpose of this activity is that you can leave a green mark on Rapa Nui by planting your own tree on top of Mount Terevaka. We hope that if one day you decide to return, you can enjoy the shade or the fruits of the tree that you planted.
Afterwards, we remount the horses and begin the gentle descent back to the ranch.
Special beginner route. Maximum 6 people. The weather can be quite unpredictable, so it's a good idea to be prepared for some rain.

Owner (Tonte) picked us up at hotel right on time and took us to his property. He spoke English very well and was great conversation the entire journey. Horses were very well behaved, and the trail was not frightening at all. The ride was about 1/3 thru the forest then we were in the open spaces, so you got to see both kinds of scenery. You get in the clouds on the very top of the mountain, but they pass thru and you have a view in any direction at any given time. Not a horse person by nature but this was a fantastic experience, I highly recommend.Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take this excursion wearing shorts unless you want to lose a bit of skin on your legs from the saddle. Other than that it's a wonderful ride. Iti, the horse was gentle, the area is spectacular, the view from the top of Terevaka is spectacular and planting a tree to help w...
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take this excursion wearing shorts unless you want to lose a bit of skin on your legs from the saddle. Other than that it's a wonderful ride. Iti, the horse was gentle, the area is spectacular, the view from the top of Terevaka is spectacular and planting a tree to help with reforestation of the island was an incredible way to spend a morning on Rapa Nui. If (when) I go again I will definitely do this trip again (with pants).This was one of the best parts of our whole trip!! Tonchi was the best guide, fun, knowledgeable, loving taking people out! The ride was safe and fun!! Horses were great and we even had one of this dogs join us on the whole journey, which ended riding back to the barn under the Stars. Do not miss...

Do not miss out on this experience! ✨Was picked up and taken to the beautiful property that this company has right off of the national park.

Was picked up and taken to the beautiful property that this company has right off of the national park. We were introduced to our horses, what kind of trees we were going to be planting, and then headed out. The steadily rising trail through eucalyptus forest was great, then the second half brought us out to wide expanse and great views. Our guide and company owner told us about the importance of replanting trees and the oral tradition theories about what happened to them in the first place. Bring a jacket and hat because it's quite windy up at the top, with 360 degree views! We each got to plant a tree. Spent some time taking pics. Great time. He also has a sunset ride that is popular for obvious reasons, but we wanted to give back to the island that hosted us for 4 days. Go check it out!What can I say we got super delayed getting to the island and had 1 day ! on the island we did this as our only excursion. Not knowing much about it I did not know what to expect ..

What can I say we got super delayed getting to the island and had 1 day ! on the island we did this as our only excursion. Not knowing much about it I did not know what to expect .. Myself and my 13 year old got picked up promptly at the hotel the ride to the ranch was quick and easy and we were on our way shortly with our guide who was amazing ! My 13 yo was not the most experienced so she went at OUR pace which was amazing.. We were told to bring jackets due to the wind.. mother nature had different plans for us we went from sunshine to wind to fog to crazy rain to more fog back to sunshine .. We planted the trees in the pouring rain and IT WAS AMAZING ... just roll with it ! And let your horse guide you .. When we go back this will be on my list to do again.. with extra clean clothes in tow :o) they even swung us by the post office on the way back as we had no idea where it was and how to get there !! .. Give this company a chance they just started on Trip advisor !! And hey guys ! Change your title still !! It should read Horseback riding to the highest point of Easter Island and leave your mark by planting a tree!! or something like that ! LOL Miss you all see you soon !! NatalieCan't say enough good things about the amazing horseback tour I had with Tonchi. I was lucky enough to have a solo tour with him, and he is super friendly.

Can't say enough good things about the amazing horseback tour I had with Tonchi. I was lucky enough to have a solo tour with him, and he is super friendly. Tonchi is a local and knows a lot about the island, so it was a great learning experience as we rode to the highest point on Rapa Nui to watch the sunset. English is his 3rd language, so there were some silences sometimes, but that just gave me time to take in the sights and sounds.Pick up and drop off from my hotel was a lovely touch. 5 stars, would recommend! Un tour inolvidable con el super amable Tonchi. Conoce mucha historia sobre la isla de Rapa Nui, y me explicó todo, mientras asegurando un excursión divertida y segura. Muy recomendable, 5 estrellas.
