Easter Island: A 5-Day Whistlestop Itinerary, Hanga Roa, Chile

Easter Island can be an expensive place to visit however you can save pennies by cutting your trip from the traditional 7 days to 5 days instead. We packed everything into 5 days easily without breaking the bank, it just takes a little forward thinking and planning to cram all the following activities in.

First walk down to the main street in Hanga Roa, Atamu Tekena, and have a mosey around. Next, head to Pea Swimming Pool for the beautiful views over the bay. Make sure to look down at the water, you may even spot some turtles. Continue walking along the seafront to the Harbour and marvel at the moai right next to the harbor. If you’re itching to get in the sea, you can take a dip at Playa Poko Poko. Next head along the coastal path past the cemetery to Ahu Tahai, this is a great place to visit at sunrise or sunset. Crowds gather to watch the sun slowly setting over this moai. We were especially lucky to witness horses galloping around at sunset alongside the moai. If you walk on slightly further, you can visit Mirador Hanga Kioe, which is less busy than Ahu Tahai but I believe it’s on private land so you can only look from afar. ......
