Chile · MORNING
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 14 morning tours worth the day, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
2.5-day Rapa Nui highlights tour plus Tongariki sunrise with small groups, expert local guides, and major moai sites, park tickets extra.
“The guides were all so knowledgeable about all aspects of Rapa Nui, we loved hearing all the information they provided. Vehicles were all clean and roadworthy and arrived within the allocated time frame. Would 100% recommend.”
Float over the Atacama Desert at sunrise from San Pedro de Atacama, with small-group comfort, breakfast, and local stories after landing.
“One of the best experience ever. From the morning breakfast to getting into the history of the air balloon. The actual experience up in the area was over 1 hour and travelled 15km… was breathtaking to see the sunrise over the desert. The post landing champagne and cheese was perfect ending.”
Two full days plus Tongariki sunrise in Rapa Nui with certified guides, pickup, and fair-trade support, starting from $250 per person.
“Very happy with all aspects of the tour - having different guides on each day allowed me to get different perspectives / theories on the island's history for stuff that has no written record. Good communication throughout, only issues were caused by customers who hadn't followed the advice to bring drinks and snacks.”
Private sunrise tour at Ahu Tongariki with native guides, hotel pickup in Hanga Roa, and prime photo time around the 15 moai.
“Shame this activity is almost half the price now!!! I paid €175 and Completley over priced”
Sunrise Tongariki on Easter Island: early transport to Ahu Tongariki for moai at dawn. Small group, weather-dependent, admission extra.
“Being there for the sunrise was awesome. But getting there and back was terrifying! The driver went over 80 kmh twice the speed limit, very scary. Guide slept the whole way there and the whole time while there, basically no guide except to open and close the van door.”
A private sunrise drive to Ahu Tongariki for 15 Moai, local guiding, and big early-morning atmosphere, with park ticket and breakfast extra.
“Just being there is amazing in itself. Having the largest ahu in front of you, and a valcano behind you, gives you lots to focus on. And there is a moi on the ground in-between providing a great reference point to how big the moi are.”
Private Tongariki sunrise with a local guide, hot drinks, and a front-row view of 15 standing moai. Park ticket extra, time matters.
“Our driver’s car would not start so it didn’t take place. We got up early, met our driver/guide in front of our hotel, got in her car and her car would not start so it was canceled.”
Sunrise at El Tatio from San Pedro de Atacama, with hot breakfast, small-group guide talk, flamingos at Putana, and Machuca at altitude.
“If you’ve never seen geysers before, this is the place to visit. El Tatio has the third largest geyser field in the world. The tour starts very early in the morning, as the geysers are most active at that time. Be sure to layer up as it’s extremely cold here. Our guide, Caroo, was great at explaining everything about the geysers”
Sunrise Tatio Geysers from San Pedro de Atacama. Putana viewpoints, Machuca village, and the Putana bofedal with breakfast included.
“Since the WhatsApp assistance of consultant Beth has already made us realize that the experience would be incredible, we had support every day of the trip, any questions or concerns before and during the trip were understood and answered in a polite and attentive way. We stayed in Chile for 9 days, being 4 in Santiago and 5 in Atacama, all the booked tours were amazing, not only for the breathtaking landscape but also for the super attentive and fun guides, always answering questions about the locations and demonstrating an absurd knowledge, the meals that were included in the tours were delicious. It can be seen that they really care…”
Private Tongariki Sunrise tour on Easter Island with hotel pickup, guide, coffee, and moai views at Ahu Tongariki, plus seasonal sunrise options.
“The tour company should consider lengthening the tour. After pickup, you arrive at the site about an hour before sunrise. You’ll wait there and within ten minutes of sunrise you’re told to leave so you get back to the town all within 2hrs, so you don’t get much time to enjoy the area in daylight.”
Early-morning trip from Santiago to Embalse El Yeso for a walk and coffee, plus San José de Maipo and a chocolate stop, with a group picnic.
“The place is stunning, a beautiful landscape in the middle of the mountains, pure air and total disconnection. The coordination for hotel pickup was very good and our guide, Sebastian, communicated with us very kindly to inform us every detail from the day before. Everything flowed in the best way. During the tour, Sebastian integrated the group very well and his explanations about what we were seeing were excellent. You could tell he has a lot of experience and loves what he does. He and Ramon, the mobility driver were very professional and friendly throughout. What the company offers in the package, is just what we visit. Even the picnic…”
Guided sunrise visit to Ahu Tongariki on Easter Island, with early hotel pickup, small-group pace, and 15 moai views.
“The Ahu Tongariki is stunning and worth visiting. The best view is actually later in the day when the sun lights up the Moai faces, but sunrise is beautiful, too. The listing in Viator claims the tour is 4 hours and includes breakfast, but this is not true. We were picked up at the hotel on time (6:00am). On the drive, our guide told us some history of the Rapa Nui people, although it was difficult to hear (a combination of a very loud car/road noise plus his slurred speech). When we arrived at Ahu Tongariki, he took us to a good spot for viewing the sunrise, and then walked…”
Sunrise hike to Osorno Volcano glacier from Puerto Varas, with technical gear, a small group, and Andes dawn views in 8 hours.
“Thank you to guide Karla for all your attention and excellent technical knowledge of mountaineering and for offering safety in the climb to the glacier of the Volcano Osorno. Transport from the hotel efficiently and communication of the details of the tour via message, so that I felt well informed. I climbed up to the glacier, so there was the desire to return to Puerto Varas and climb again to the Topo do Osorno. Incredible tour for those who want more adventure than just climbing a cable car like an ordinary tourist. I recommend.Auto-translated”
Sunrise at El Tatio geysers with a guided walk, Putana River and bofedales, Machuca views, and breakfast, from San Pedro.
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
