Expensive price and no drink for dinner

With the price I've paid I think I should get the drink into dinner, not just a welcome glass of cocktail. Pickup should be at the hotel, not that I had to go to a point, which was another hotel and was away from my hotel and the restaurant, and then we passed by my hotel to pick up other customers. That needs to be improved.

Going native

The show itself was fabulous. Lovely warm welcoming. But the agency I booked through was non communicative. I was double booked with a pre existing reservation at the hotel where I was staying where the show was. I had to pay twice and no refund even when the hotel called to tell them about this the day before. So not happy with the agency. But i highly recommend the show and the hotel too.

Te rai Rapa Nui dinner show

Very interesting show. We appreciated that the founder of the dance group explained the history and cultural significance of the dance and food preparation. The seating was comfortable in a dinner theater style set up. The drinks, including their specialty cocktails, were very good. The buffet dinner was ok. The dancing was very impressive and entertaining. The dancers had tremendous skill and artistry. Very high energy throughout the show.

Show with very late dinner

A good show in itself, including traditional cooking. But unfortunately with very late buffet dinner after the show. The transfer takes place in minibuses.

Nice Show with very late dinner

Pickup with minibus was in time but the guys on site have not been ready at arrival. 15min waiting for the welcome drink. The show itself is nice, but the dinner was after the show at 10:30pm. The price is high.
