Land of the giant moai
One of the world's most remote inhabited islands (Rapa Nui) — nearly 900 monumental stone moai gaze across volcanic hills and empty beaches, wrapped in Polynesian culture and mystery.




Rent a car, scooter, or take tours; one town (Hanga Roa).
Watch sunrise behind the 15 moai of Ahu Tongariki — the island's most magical moment.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Polynesian dance shows and a few bars.
