The airport shuttle will bring you to any hotel. Since there’s only one flight a day, the hotels are usually ready for when travelers arrive. The Taha Tai Hotel has ocean views and a delicious breakfast!

Take a guided tour around the island to see all the moai (the real name for the Easter Island heads!) and learn about the Rapa Nui culture. The first stop is Ahu Tongariki. This is the largest ahu (“platform” in Rapa Nui) on the island with 15 moai! It was breathtaking. The only thing that would’ve made it better was if I booked the sunrise tour!

Make sure to stop at Anakena on the north side of the island. This is the only sandy beach on the island, and it’s because the sand was imported from Tahiti!

Spend the day exploring Hanga Roa, the only town on the whole Island! There’s a artisan market right in the town, so you can get your hand carved moai and wooden souvenirs here!

End the night by taking a stargazing tour. I was able to take this photo with my iPhone! These are some of the clearest skies in the world because of the lack of light pollution.

At the bottom of the volcano is the quarry that the moai were carved from. You’ll have to visit to hear the theories about how they moved MILES across the island to the spots they stand now.
