Visit Easter Island
A remote and mysterious isle, where ancient stone monoliths tower over rugged, windswept coastlines.
A few words on Easter Island.
One of the most fascinating destinations on earth, Rapa Nui, or as it’s more commonly known, Easter Island is a remote Polynesian isle (and Chilean territory) renowned for the iconic and deeply mystifying moai - striking archaeological sculptures depicting oversized human heads.
Carved by the indigenous Rapa Nui people to honour important members of their communities who had passed, the moai (which number closer to 900, and are found throughout the island) are estimated to be at least 500 years old, and vary in size, with the largest (the aptly named El Gigante) standing at over 70 ft tall!

Faq?
Although Easter Island is a great year-round, during the high season of November to March (the Southern Hemisphere summer) prices will be at their highest and attractions can get busy, so we recommend visiting during the shoulder months of October or April.
We recommend 5 days.
