Frequently asked questions
About Easter Island
Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, is a remote volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean. The official currency is the Chilean Peso. The island is famous for its iconic moai statues, ancient stone figures that dot the landscape. Visitors can explore archaeological sites, pristine beaches, and unique Polynesian culture. The local language is Rapa Nui, but Spanish is also widely spoken on the island.
When to visit
The best time to visit Easter Island is during the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and fall (March to May) when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. The summer months (December to February) can be hot and crowded, while winter (June to August) can be rainy and windy. It's important to pack layers and sunscreen for your trip.
Getting around
The main mode of transportation on Easter Island is by renting a car, scooter, or bicycle to explore the island at your own pace. There are also guided tours available that provide transportation to the main attractions. Walking is a great way to explore the town of Hanga Roa, where most accommodations and restaurants are located. Taxis are also available for short trips around the island.
Traveller tips
Make sure to book your accommodation and tours in advance, especially during the peak season. Don't forget to bring cash as there are limited ATMs on the island. Respect the local culture and environment by following designated paths and not touching the moai statues. Be prepared for changeable weather conditions and bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Lastly, don't miss the chance to attend a traditional Rapa Nui dance performance to experience the island's rich cultural heritage.
