Easter Island Vacation - The Island's Secret

On Easter Island, there is a subtropical, warm climate with trade winds year-round. The warmest months are January and February and are the best time for a trip to Easter Island.

Your Easter Island Vacation begins today! In the coming days, discover one of the most remote islands in the world: Easter Island.

A local colleague will meet you and drive you to your hotel when you arrive on the island. Use the rest of the day as free time. We recommend a stroll through Hanga Roa village to get to know the area and the hospitable people of the island.

Easter Island, or Rapa Nui as it is called in the native language, is one of Polynesia’s most mysterious and fascinating places. Rapa Nui translates to “big stone” and gets its name from the stone statues that dot the island. The moais, as the world-famous stone statues on the island are called, keep watch of the island’s coast and are the namesake.

Flight time Santiago - Rapa Nui / Easter Island: approx. 5 hours
Travel time Easter Island airport - Hanga Roa hotel: approx. 10 minutes/approx. 2 km

After breakfast at the hotel, a local guide will pick you up for a full-day excursion on the island. The first stop is Ahu Vaihu, the site with the most moai statues on the island. Then drive to the Ahu Akahanga region, where legend says the tomb of the famous King Hoti Matua lies next to the moai.

At the extinct volcano Rano Raraku, you will get to know one of the most important places of the Rapa Nui culture. Around 900 of the famous statues have been carved out of volcanic rock in this genuine moai factory. Four hundred of the works of art are still in the volcano's quarries today!

After marveling at the imposing witnesses of the past, continue your journey to Ahu Tongariki and Ahu Te Pito Kura. You will finally arrive at Anakena Beach! Here you can see two recently restored statue platforms. It's also an ideal place to cool off in the Pacific or rest under the shandy palm trees while enjoying a delicious lunch. After returning to the hotel, the rest of the day is free to do as you wish.

Tonight the choice is yours for dinner! Pick a meal according to your wishes and taste the local cuisine with Polynesian and Chilean influences. Hanga Roa has an excellent selection of restaurants and bars where you can try Polynesian fish dishes, Chilean empanadas, and creations made from sweet potatoes, avocados, and guavas.

Today, you will have breakfast in the hotel before getting ready for the half-day excursion to the Ahu Akivi, one of Easter Island's most beautiful moai sites, with seven restored statues. According to legend, they are the first explorers to reach Rapa Nui on behalf of King Hotu Matua. Visit the rugged south coast of the island and the Puna Pau quarry, where you can marvel at the pukao ornaments carved from red volcanic rock that sit like a crown on the moai heads. After this adventure, the rest of the day is at your disposal.
