Easter Island, known as Rapa Nui, is one of the most remote inhabited places on earth, a small volcanic triangle in the Pacific scattered with the giant stone moai. Its Polynesian culture is alive in language, song and the sites that ring the coast, and the interior holds craters, caves and grassy hills. Stand before a row of moai at dawn, then set out to find the quarry where they were carved!
When to go
The warmer, drier months from around December to March are the most popular and the best for the coast, though they are also the busiest. April to October is cooler and can be wetter, but the island is quieter and the light is dramatic. Being far out in the Pacific, the weather is mild year round but can shift quickly, so pack for rain any season.
Getting there from Montreal
Easter Island is reached only by air from Santiago on LATAM, so from Québec City or Montréal you first connect through a US hub to Santiago, then take the roughly five-hour flight west over the Pacific. This means at least two connections and usually an overnight crossing before the island leg. Flights are limited and fill up, so book the Santiago to Rapa Nui segment early.
What to see and do
- Rano Raraku, the quarry where the moai were carved
- Ahu Tongariki, the great row of fifteen restored moai
- Orongo and the birdman ceremonial village on the crater rim
- Anakena, the palm-fringed beach with its own moai
Good to know before you go
There is no ride-hailing on the island, so getting around means renting a scooter or quad, hiring a local guide, or using the few local taxis; agree on any taxi price first. The currency is the Chilean peso, and cash matters since card acceptance is limited, so bring enough from the mainland. Spanish is spoken alongside the Rapa Nui language, and locals appreciate a respectful hello. Much of the island is protected parkland with an entry fee, and you must not touch or climb the moai.
