Ahu Akivi's 7-Moai platform faces the equinoctial rising sun with each statue standing at around 16 feet tall and weighing around 18 tons. According to folklore, the seven statues represent the seven young explorers who left Hiva, a legendary Polynesian homeland, to reconnoitre on the island after the spiritual priest Haumaka made the first chief, Hotu Matu'a, aware of the existence of the island. You will have time to reflect on this history and the many other mysteries of Easter Island as you wander around exploring the incredible Moai structures.
