Easter Island, The Beautiful Polynesian Island of Rapa Nui
August 1 - 9, 2026
Traveling to Easter Island is a one-of-a-kind experience, where nature, culture, and mystery come together on one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. Extinct volcanoes, dramatic cliffs, white-sand beaches, and wide-open grasslands create a breathtaking landscape.
Rapa Nui culture is everywhere - from the iconic Moai statues to traditional dances, stories, and rituals that share a deep spiritual heritage. Adventurers can hike volcanic trails, dive in crystal-clear waters, bike past archaeological sites, or watch the sunrise at Ahu Tongariki as the statues face the sea.
A journey to Rapa Nui is more than sightseeing - it’s a chance to connect with ancient history, vibrant culture, and the powerful energy of the island.
