Easter Island (Rapa Nui) Short Break

Journey to enigmatic Easter Island and experience the remote beauty and fascinating folklore of ‘Rapa Nui’. This Short Break Adventure allows plenty of time to admire the many stone moai that have made this island so famous. As the trade winds blow, view remnants of the past at ancient ceremonial sites and villages, as well as rock art depicting strange deities. For a dose of natural beauty, be blown away by the scale of a dramatic volcanic crater and uninterrupted views over the horizon.

Welcome to Easter Island! When you arrive at the Mataveri Airport, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Hanga Roa – the island's main town. After hotel check-in, the rest of the day is free to explore at your own pace. Hanga Roa is a small place with 3800 resident, but has many shops, restaurants and bars to hang out in. At the port in the middle of town, you’ll be greeted by your first moai – Ahu Tautira. To the north are some scenic spots complete with more moai, as well as the Sebastian Englebert Museum of Anthropology – a good place to get acquainted with the Easter Island story.

After breakfast, join the other travellers on a guided excursion around Easter Island. The island covers an area of 117 square km, so you’ll see most of the island in a day. Leave Hanga Roa and travel along the south coast to Ahu Vaihu, where you’ll see eight large toppled moai lying face down on the ground. Continue to Rano Raraku – a volcano also known as 'the nursery of the moai' because the statues around the island were cut from the stones that came from this quarry. Here, you can find the 21-m-high moai – the largest one ever carved! At Ahu Tongariro, see the 15 restored moai on the coastline. The originals were destroyed by a huge tidal wave in 1960. Along the north coast is Anakena – a beautiful sandy beach with swaying palm trees, with a moai standing guard.

Today you’ll visit the Orongo Ceremonial Village, set 400 m high on a ridge with the ocean on one side and the crater lake of Rano Kau on the other. This village is home to remnants relating to a birdman cult that has been around for centuries. Learn about these art remnants, then check out the moai at Ahu Vinapu. In the afternoon, travel to Akivi to see the seven moai that overlook the site of an ancient village. Tonight, watch the sunset and enjoy a free evening to find dinner.

With no further activities planned, your adventure will come to an end today after breakfast. You’ll be transferred to the airport for your onward flight home.

The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.
