Chile · 2-DAY EXPERIENCES
Good 2-day experiences sell out weeks ahead in high season and the best go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Santiago by hop-on hop-off bus, cable car, funicular, and scenic park buses with a practical two-day pass.
“Had the 2 day pass but was only able to use one day. Still was able to do the city loop and the funicular and cable car. Helped skip the payment line too. The 2 hour+ loop is longer depending on traffic so plan ahead.”
Explore Rapa Nui’s moai, quarries, caves, and sacred sites on a two-day small-group tour with local guides from Hanga Roa.
“This was an amazing tour!!!! Well worth the money and then some! Our guide, Javier’s Hucke, was extremely knowledgeable and patient, taking time to translate the tour for both English and Spanish speakers and ensuring all of our questions were thoroughly answered. She provided so much insight into the rich culture and history of the island, and particularly the Moai statues. I learned so much that I never knew about them!! Since the majority of the island is a national park with stops that require a guide, it is most efficient and well worth the money to book a tour like this one. I also rented a motorcycle and spent…”

“Best customer service staff I've ever met. Went above and beyond to be of service. One member of staff even jumped off the bus to warn us of potential risks. Great trip and service. Lovely city.”
See Rapa Nui’s major moai sites, explore the island’s caves, and watch sunrise at Tongariki on a well-organized three-day tour.
“Trip was pretty good, there were some delays with pickup time. Also felt very rushed at beach. Would be better to have had more time there. Generally a good tour, but could use a few tweaks.”
Review of Easter Island’s private two-day tour, with moai sites, local guides, costs, practical tips, and honest advice on value.
“joaquin Was an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable and passionate. He was so patient with my father who has done walking limitations. We enjoyed every aspect of this two day tour. It was retirement bucket list adventure for my dad and this private tour lead by joaquin made his dreams come true!”
Explore Easter Island’s moai, volcanoes, caves, and Rapa Nui culture in two days, with local guides, hotel pickup, and a small group.
“Experience was amazing! Very experienced and friendly guides. David did the adventure packed day. He’s a little more active, and you’ll need to keep up. Franco did the second day, which includes more gentle walking and is fine for kids. (He was also very helpful when I needed to take an emergency call during a part of the tour in a remote place.) Good information and conversations both days, and we learned a lot and had a great time! A couple things to note: 1. Depending on the day, you may not take the tour in order. Because we started on a Tuesday, we did day 2 (a full day)…”

“My wife and I did two private tours with Green Island. We did the Moai Monuments tour with a group of 7 as we toured with some friends whose visit to the island overlapped with ours. We then did the Historic Pathways Tour with just the two of us.”
See Rainbow Valley, Moon Valley, Tatio Geysers, and Cejar Lagoon in two busy days with breakfasts, snacks, guides, and shared transport.
“Atacama desert is worth visiting by far. Indisputable a challenging place due to its climate, but among the most interesting and fascinating in the whole world. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their function and went above and beyond their scope to care for us being insuperable ambassadors.”

“Most companies in Viator provide refunds with 24 hours notice. THIS one does not. Fine print does say this, but people DO get ill. BEWARE!!!”
See Rapa Nui’s greatest moai sites in a small group, from Anakena and Tongariki to Rano Raraku, Orongo, and Rano Kau.
“So many wonderful places to see. Joaquin was animated and gave us history of the island and people. The weakness was he often started explanation before we were with the group. We are older and careful where we walk so sometimes we were a little behind. Overall, a very consise tour to see the highlights.”
A practical two-day Patagonia tour from Puerto Natales, pairing Torres del Paine sights with Balmaceda and Serrano Glacier by boat.
“Il faut dissocier les deux activités. Autant la journée Balmaceda et Serrano mérite cinq étoiles et a été formidable. Autant la journée Torres del Paine a été désagréable. Malgré la gentillesse de la conductrice et de l’accompagnateur les conditions étaient compliquées. Le minibus était vieux et fatigué, sur des pistes défoncées. La climatisation ne fonctionnait pas. Je pense que le concept de cette activité est à revoir, beaucoup trop de kilomètres sur des pistes.”
Pick a region or pick a kind of day. Both land on the same shortlists.
