Located 3700 km from the continent, surrounded by the intense blue sea and under the watch of its gigantic Moai, Easter Island is a place that contains mysteries that are waiting to be revealed by explorers of all times, and where Explora's team takes travelers to discover all its corners.
With over 20 explorations, either on foot, bike riding, or on a boat, hotel's team offers travelers a deep exploration experience that includes visiting places that are even unknown for some locals and feeling the history of the Rapa Nui culture with its landscape and archeological remains.
Explorations in Easter Island have cultural shades, are always led by a local guide trained at the School of Guides, and are made in groups of a maximum of eight travelers.
They include hikes and bike explorations among archaeological remains, volcanoes, beaches, prairies, and cliffs as well as boat trips or snorkeling explorations where you can explore under the world’s most pristine sea waters.
Travelers have the possibility of choosing different explorations every day. These explorations have different lengths and difficulty levels.
Full day explorations give you the privilege of having lunch at the seaside or at Anakena beach, just to name a few examples, while those that take half a day allow you to return to Explora Rapa Nui to choose a second exploration during the afternoon.
Hotel's team recommends a minimum of four nights to enjoy an exploration experience that will really show you what the Rapa Nui is like.
