Top Highlights

  • SantiagoEight days to the most remote inhabited island on earth — 3,700 km from the mainland and 2,000 from the nearest neighbour.
  • Hanga RoaOne airline flies here.
  • Rano RarakuNearly four hundred moai are still in the quarry, some finished and never moved, one twenty-one metres long and still attached to the rock.
  • Rano Kau craterWhen moai carving stopped, the birdman cult took over — competitors swam to the islet below for the first sooty tern egg of the season.

Easter Island done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Worth every rupee.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Recommended.

Easter Island done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.
