Seven full-size moai, 5.5 m tall, stand in a row on a lawn above the sea. They are the only complete replicas made with the permission of the Rapa Nui elders’ council, given after a Japanese team re-erected the fallen moai of Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island between 1992 and 1995.
Two things the plaques won't tell you
- Check the calendar: it closes on Wednesdays and on a few extra days.
- The park climbs a hillside to about 120 m above the sea. The hire carts (a driving licence is needed) do not go to the moai square; on rainy days a free park bus does.
