Can I walk around Easter Island alone at night?

Can I walk around Easter Island alone at night? - Little child with toy bag outside

I wanted to spend some time alone and I'd love to see the island outside Hanga Roa and without other tourists during the night.

I know wild camping is illegal (all the island is either National Park or private territory), so I'm not considering this.

Can I do some of the trails during the night? My concerns are:

  • Is it legal? I didn't find anything saying that it isn't or suggesting that I'd need a guide, but better safe than sorry,
  • Is is safe? I guess with small population and so many tourists it's OK, but maybe there other dangers like wild animals.
