Easter Island
Our exclusive Easter Island tours take you to “Tepito Ote Henua” (The Centre of the World), as the ancient people who created the iconic Moai statues called it when they lived there thousands of years ago. Easter Island truly is a special place, for not only is it the most remote inhabited island on the planet, but no other landmass is as isolated, giving it a unique aura of exotic mystery.
A national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Easter Island offers something for everyone, from the pink sand beaches of Ovahe and the heavenly charms of Anakena to its volcanoes, grasslands and remarkable marine life and, of course, the Moai statues that bore witness to the rise and fall of a complex and stratified society.
Its spirit still lives on today in its people, language, clothing, music, dance, crafts and food, with locals returning to their roots every February with Tapati Rapa Nui, two weeks of festivities based on ancestral traditions such as body painting, awe-inspiring competitions, song, dance and the selection of their queen. With its warm climate, continually improving tourism service infrastructure and the charm of its people coupled with the tranquillity and beauty of its landscapes, this exotic Polynesian island has plenty to offer travellers throughout the year – you’ll want to return time and time again.
