More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the plane into a wind that seems to remember old voyages, and a local team places a fragrant flower lei at your neck — an immediate, quiet welcome. The silhouette of moai crowns nearby ridgelines while the Pacific presses its blue edge against coral sand at Anakena; on Easter Island, the landscape feels both spare and insistently alive.

Sun protection is non-negotiable
The subtropical sun is strong; bring SPF 30+ sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses for all daytime outings.
Sturdy shoes for uneven sites
Many moai platforms and quarries have loose rock and compacted dirt—supportive, grippy footwear will make walks safer and more comfortable.
Carry water and a small snack
Full-day touring can be 6–8 hours with limited services; a 1–2 L water bottle and snacks keep you energized between lunches.
Respect restricted areas
Stay behind ropes and follow your guide—walking on platforms and touching moai causes irreversible damage to fragile archaeology.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide grip and ankle support on rocky platforms and uneven trails.
Sun hat & sunscreen
Protects against strong subtropical sun during long outdoor site visits.
summer
Light rain shell
Coastal weather can shift quickly; a packable shell is useful year-round in cooler months.
winter
Reusable water bottle (1–2 L)
