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.
Highlights
- Take in the faraway feeling of one of the world's most remote populated islands and ponder the mystery of the moai monoliths that weigh up to 50 tonnes.
- Learn about the heritage of the Rapa Nui people, the island's native Polynesians, from a local guide that will be by your side during all activities.
- Enjoy the warm hospitality of the local people, born from a mix of ancient travellers that arrived here from the Polynesian islands and from South America.
- Travel your own way, with heaps of free time to stroll along Hanga Roa's main strip, sample the delicious local seafood or explore the island by bicycle.
- Visit the beautifully located Orongo Ceremonial Village and Ahu Akivi for unparalleled ocean views.

Overall very satisfied with the trip, particularly the same guide throughout the trip was a big plus, so each day’s activities were known ahead of time. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative.

Travelers should know that you are not with an Intrepid tour leader but with a guide from a loccl company that Intrepid contracts with, and the sequence of your activities may not line up as the booking states. So the quality of tour will depend on the local guide. We had a Rapa Nui native guide who is very knowledgeable about local history.

Intrepid made the arrangements and the locals executed resulting in a delightful, educational, and fun visit to Rapa Nui. From the moment I was met at the airport, to the return trip, everything went like clockwork. The tours (which differed in schedule from those advertised because of Christmas) were perfectly scheduled. I loved the accommodations.

Do not miss Rapa Nui. It is worth the trip. However, do make sure that there are flights in/out when you need. PreCovid this was not a problem. After the Covid re-opening flights are far and few between and may require a day or more extra stay (there is enough to do for a week). Also, make sure you understand why Intrepid calls this a "Short Break" as they seem to have less control over the tour than on the mainland and they are mostly a facilitating agency and not deeply involved in the tour
