Traveler reviews
Mediocre show, English explanation incomprehensible
Booking via their website does not work. You receive a confirmation email that says nothing about how to make the payment. The email address mentioned to make the payment does not exist. Finally contacted via another email address via FB and after some back and forth emailing, ordered cards. Show without dinner ordered. The show is quite monotonous, often the same type of dance. The person who gives the explanation about the background of the dances speaks barely understandable English, so a lot of the explanation is missed, what a shame! Not a bad show, but it feels very touristy, which makes it questionable whether it is authentic. Quite expensive for what you get.
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.
