Easter Island

ExploreEaster Island

Easter Island, Chile

Also known as Rapa Nui, this remote destination is as mysterious as it is historic. The beaches are windswept and exotic, the eco travel vibe here is prominent, and the aura of ancient mysticism is almost palpable. What is Easter Island most famous for…Of course, it would be the moai: Polynesian statues made from compressed volcanic ash or tuff between 1200 and 1700 AD by the Polynesian inhabitants. The island itself is considered one of the world’s most isolated places on the planet.

Things to See in Easter Island

  • Moai

    To date, there have been almost 900 of the amazing statues identified. It is believed that they were carved exclusively out of stone chisels. They range in size, with the largest recorded at about 32 ft long. Researchers are still not certain why so few were actually installed with the rest apparently in varying stages of transport. They consist primarily of large heads on torsos though there are some in a kneeling position.
  • Rano Raraku

    Believed to have been the main site from which the tuff for the moai was quarried, this volcanic crater also contains a crater lake. Still standing within this crater are a number of moai in different stages of completion.
  • Orongo

    A ceremonial village, Orongo is located at the southern tip of Easter Island. It is situated on the edge of a crater wall and thus the views from the entire village are astounding. There are several stone and mud houses built into the slope. At one time, Orongo was known for its birdman cult: marked by an annual race for a special egg during which those competing often fell to their deaths.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
