Why it’s in the log
Te Moana sits on Policarpo Toro, Hanga Roa's main street, serving the tuna Rapa Nui's waters are genuinely known for — raw in ceviche, seared, or grilled — rather than a menu built around ingredients flown in for tourists. It's as much a spot where islanders eat as visitors, which isn't a given on an island where most restaurants sit right on the tourist circuit out of necessity.
At 4.4 stars over 510 reviews, it holds up well against Hanga Roa's small set of restaurant options — worth booking ahead in high season, since the town has limited seating capacity across the board.
