Easter Island dance shows

Seeing a live show of the unique Rapa Nui music and dances is something you shouldn't miss. There are a few different options, and below are the most notable ones.

Te Ra'ai

The most popular, and also the newest show, is the one offered at the event oriented restaurant Te Ra'ai by their own group Haha Varua. Between the well executed dances, the chieftain explains the meaning of what the audience sees, without ever losing the constant intensity and entertainment value of the show.

At Te Ra'ai, one might attend only the show, though most visitors prefer also enjoying the full evening package. This consists of having faces painted, learning more about the Rapa Nui music and culture, participating in the opening of the 'umu ta'o (food cooked in the earth) and having that same food as dinner before viewing the show.
