The island with no means of transportation, you must choose between a car
rental (4x4 or two-wheelers), a taxi ride, or group as part of an organized
tour.
Other options: biking, horseback ... walking (while there, it's hot!). But be aware that these means of transport do not explore the whole island in one day.

By car and motorcycle
The rental car or bike offers the independence necessary to avoid the intense heat and visit the archaeological sites at sunrise or sunset, when they are lonely and especially evocative.
Car rental is a lucrative business, and almost everyone has: agencies, shops, taxi drivers. While negotiating prices. One can quickly fall from $ 60 to $ 40 per day.
Attention any assurance on the island. In case of problems, we evaluate the damage ... and negotiate. This can lead to discussions of sacred! Some agencies practiced a franchise for only damage the vehicle. Get the facts. As for you, better to have a personal insurance.
By taxi
Another option for avoiding cross the island to cross too many people on the sites. If, of course, it offers a little less freedom, not least because it does not borrow the worst tracks (a 4x4 is necessary), it remains practical and relatively comparable in terms of cost.
There are many companies. Two numbers to call: 210-03-99 and 210-07-00.
Please note that your taxi driver is not a guide. Some try to provide some info, but it's not their job. If you want to understand a little island, it is best to take a real guide for a day.
Horseback
Most guides and rental agencies also offer horseback riding, guided or not. Count usually around $ 40 for an output of about 3 to 4 hours and $ 60 for the day.
By bike, on foot
In mountain biking, it can be nice on the outskirts of Hanga Roa, however, know that with the heat, slopes and distances (50 km round trip to the Rano Raraku), the trip quickly turns into a nightmare ...
Side hiking opportunities abound and no one will prevent you to bivouac in the middle of nowhere, even though it is officially banned. It has met a Japanese backpackers who toured the island in four days, along the coasts.
