Top Reasons to Go to Easter Island

Astounding archaeology: Whether it’s the ubiquitous moai statues, petroglyphs, or cave paintings, Easter Island is an open-air museum with a turbulent and mysterious past.

Wonderful walking: Easter Island’s rolling hills, with the white-flecked ocean rarely out of sight, hold some glorious walking trails, especially along the north coast.

Extraordinary diving: Diving into the cobalt-blue waters is one of the most popular pastimes on Easter Island. Visibility is up to 120 feet, so you don’t miss the bright tropical fish or the turtles. Coral formations like the Cavern of the Three Windows make for an unforgettable underwater experience.

Souvenir shopping: Locals have carved a living out of the stone and driftwood, making handicrafts like miniature moai, elaborate bowls, eerie masks, and shell jewelry.
