Wanted to experience a traditional EasterIsland show so my hotel recommended this one & I wasn't disappointed. If your use to high end pretentious restaurants maybe not for you but if your prepared to let your hair down & have an open mind it's defiantly for you. I loved the down to earth vibe at this place. Im from NZ... More

I read over and over how even people who normally hate this tourist-trap sort of show really liked it after all. My advice: if you hate tourist trap shows you will hate this one too. Save your money and go to Disneyworld instead. Horrible food, worse service and really bad wine. I just don't get how anyone can like this.... More

By the time I called and they got me the ceremony showing how they prepare the dinner was already over. The other people got to see the traditional way of cooking and also got their faces painted. The food was ok, nothing extraordinary, but tasty and plentiful (buffet). The dance show was about an hour with very motivated dancers and... More

A must-have experience in Eastern Island. Complete experience with preparation, food and typical polynesian dance/music show. Very good food, very good service, great performance, the whole package. A bit expensive but totally worth it!

Te Ra'ai is an amazing experience. The food is cooked based on traditional customs and we, as guests, watch part of the preparation of the meal. Cocktail greets you upon arrival with red/ white wine with dinner. After the meal, you are escorted next door to a theater, with music and traditional dance. There is free shuttle service to/ from...

The evening started with aperitifs, followed by face painting in the traditional style, and then taking the food we would eat for dinner out of the 'oven' in the ground. We then enjoyed dinner and drinks, followed by great dancing, with a number of stories. Highly recommended.
