3.Ancestral fishing: Fishing with an experienced Rapa Nui

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3 reviews · 3 hours · from $180Best value

Fish the Pacific with a Rapa Nui guide, learn ancestral techniques, see seabird islets, and enjoy your catch after a private three-hour boat trip.

“The trip itself was spectacular, albeit brief. The views were great, even though it wasn't a great day for fishing. I had originally booked for the day before, when I had more time, but weather forced us to postpone by a day, when I had much less time. I wouldn't recommend this tour for non-Spanish speakers. My Spanish is low intermediate and I was barely able to get by.”
