Easter Island Trips & Tours

Venture to the end of the world where curious legends, ancient cultures and a savage beauty awaits those who dare
Enigmatic, intriguing, mysterious, wilder-than-wild… Nope, none of the English language’s adjectives quite sums up the majesty of one of the world’s most incredible destinations, Easter Island or Rapa Nui. A teeny-tiny speck in an ocean of blue, 3,700-kilometres from Chile (and even further from Tahiti), the island has captured the hearts and minds of travellers for centuries, most of whom come to see the mysterious moai or stone faces. Strikingly-familiar from travel guides and magazines, there’s nothing quite like seeing the statues in the flesh; defying all gravity, they cling to hillocks, peer out from sandy coves and guard remote plains. Entrust a local guide to take you to the best spots, and when you’ve pondered enough, it’s time to explore. Hike volcanoes, cycle or horseback remote trails, visit ceremonial villages and discover lava tubes, or take to the water for scuba diving, snorkelling and surfing experiences that are extraordinarily good. Then, recharge the batteries and flop onto one of the archetypal Polynesian beaches, made all the more astonishing by the forbidding scenery you’ve just experienced.
Things to do

What to do in Easter Island

Over 3,700 kilometres off the coast of Chile, Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is a place of ancient culture and enchanting beauty. First up, a visit to Ranu Raraku is a must, the site where most of the iconic moai statues were carved and some of the most famous still stand. Afterwards, delve deeper into the history and learn all about the island's ancestors at the Orongo ceremonial village, and share in a traditional dance show. There are also myriad hiking, biking and horseback riding trails to see the resting places of the moai, as well as some of the most incredible viewpoints where you can even see the curvature of the Earth! And then it's down to the coast for under water cave explorations, snorkelling amongst sunken moai, surf lessons, and watching sunsets from the pink-sand beaches.

Quite simply, it’s breath-taking. This is the kind of place that will make you question everything you thought you knew about travel, culture, history – and make you tell anyone and everyone who will listen!
Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

Criss-cross the many walking trails on foot for the best of the island’s sights. Our favourite? The uninhabited clifftop path to Anakena beach that takes in the haunting inland terrain, long-forgotten villages and ends at nirvana-like Anakena beach with its glittering sand and swaying palms.

We won’t lie, Easter Island is a little challenging to get to – perhaps a plus point! – but the 5-hour flight from Santiago only contributes to its other-worldliness and magnetic pull.
