Rapa Nui cultural show
The evening begins with an introduction to the culture, history and culinary traditions of Rapa Nui. Presented in the native Rapa Nui language and English, the “Te Ra Ai” experience brings together stories of the island and the Polynesian peoples with music, dance and traditional cuisine. After arrival, dinner is prepared in the traditional way in an Umu, an earthen oven. While the food is being prepared, there is time to take in the atmosphere and learn more about the island’s culinary traditions. The meal is then served together with drinks. The highlight of the evening is the traditional dance and folkloric performance by Te Ra Ai. Through music and dance, the show brings the culture and history of Rapa Nui to life while offering an insight into the island’s Polynesian traditions. Those who wish can go beyond watching and join in the dancing themselves – a lively way to end an evening centred on the living culture of Rapa Nui.
