The only reason to go to Easter island. I've wanted to come here for years and was not disappointed in the least. I was able to see the whole island in 2 full days. Of course another day or 2 to relax would be good but if your short on time like I was don't skip it if you have... More

I know a lot of people complain about the $60 fee but flying to Easter Island and not going to see this sounds bizarre to me. For the $60, your pass if valid for five days. I definitely got my money's worth. This was a definite highlight for me. More

Easter Island is a very small and remote place to visit. There are several hundred huge statures carved from stone hundreds of years ago. The feeling is one of being in a rather weird place, wondering how the statues were moved several miles from the quarry in which they were carved. As one drives around the island, there are many...

This attraction is overrated, too remote to get to. Poor infrastructure. They charge US$60 for admission, I don't know where the money is going. Then they charge $1US to go to the restroom. They are basically suckers. More

No amount of description or pictures of this island does it justice. The whole island with its giant Moais have to be seen to be appreciated. We feel fortunate to have been able to visit Easter Island and to see these beautiful statues. More

On a day when not renting a car, hop in a taxi ($16 USD) and be dropped at the top of nearby Rano Kau volcano. On the way, most drivers stop at a turnoff where one can first see the caldera. Stunning view. Inside is a beautiful crater lake, one of two on the island. At the top there is... More

This is a fascinating place to visit. The history and the statues make it unique. As the whole island is the national park everything is interesting. It is a long flight from the mainland (~5hrs). and you really only need a couple of days to see it all, but we felt it was worth it. More
