Tahai

Tahai is a beautifully restored ceremonial complex just a short walk from Hanga Roa, featuring three ahu (platforms) with moai, including the only moai with reconstructed eyes. The site offers a glimpse into ancient Rapa Nui rituals and daily life, with remnants of boat-shaped houses. It's renowned as the best sunset viewing spot on the island, where the moai silhouette against the Pacific Ocean creates an unforgettable scene. The grassy area is perfect for picnicking and reflection.
