An enticing blend of history, culture and natural beauty
One of the most enigmatic, intriguing and isolated locations on earth, Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, is like a beautiful outdoor museum. Set in the middle of the Pacific, midway between Chile and Tahiti, the island’s allure revolves around the mysterious giant stone Moai statues. Some towering over 30 feet (9.1 metres), these enigmatic statues were crafted by the island’s ancient Polynesian inhabitants between the 13th and 16th centuries. Spending time among them offers you an intriguing glimpse into the distant past.
Beyond its historical significance and ancient cultures, the island boasts beautiful natural landscapes, from stunning beaches to volcanic craters. And keen hikers will enjoy a visit to Rapa Nui National Park, where an abundance of walking and hiking trails lead through scenic terrain and ceremonial villages.
Spend your time here exploring and immersing yourself in island life on a variety of Easter Island tours, whether you’re looking for watersports like snorkelling and scuba diving, lacing up for incredible hikes, spending an afternoon getting the adrenalin pumping with some mountain biking, or simply soaking up the sun on a pristine beach. There really is no shortage of reasons to visit.
