Transpacific Holidays - Holidays in the South Pacific - Easter Island

Easter Island

A visit to Easter Island will not fail to amaze you. With its barren rolling landscape, huge volcanic craters and the hundreds of enormous stone statues, to see it is to be in awe and wonderment at the peoples who once lived on this remote Pacific island.

 

Easter Island, the worlds remotest island, is situated in the eastern South Pacific Ocean,a five and a half-hour fight east south east of Tahiti and four hours north, north west of Santiago. This sixty-four square mile Chilean territorial island, with its mysterious stone statues, known as Moies, holds more secrets of it historic past than any other island in the Pacific Ocean.

 

Easter Island is not a 'tropical' island in respect of palm trees and white sandy beaches, such as imagined of the South Pacific.  There is not the usual lush greenery or trees that other islands would have, say in Fiji, Tahiti or the Cook Islands, though there are 1 or 2 white beaches with some palm trees around.  Easter Island is appealing for its history and archaeology, but if you do need some 'tropical' beach time as well, we can recommend an itinerary that includes Easter Island combined with a different island chain, to give you the best of both worlds.  

 

Because of its location, and the sights to see, we do not recommend less than a 3 day/2 night stay.   Usually, the flight schedules make this necessary anyway. Therefore, our pricing for this islands' properties will be per person for 2 night stays, unless otherwise stated.  Longer durations are available on request.

 

Cruises around Easter Island

Currently, there are no locally based cruise companies offering cruse itineraries around Easter Island.  There are a few major cruise companies operating the large luxury liners, who offer itineraries across and around the Pacific that will visit some of these islands, but they are not frequent or on a regular basis
