explora RAPA NUI

Explorations

At explora Rapa Nui we offer more than 15 different explorations. On foot or by bicycle, for a couple of hours or a full day, gentle or more physically demanding.

Our range of explorations enable you to get to know in depth the culture and geography of Rapa Nui with its ancestral, megalithic constructions and the special idiosyncracies of its people.

More extensive explorations include open-air picnics.

The explorations are safe and made up of groups with a maximum of 8 people, accompanied by an expert bilingual guide. All our guides speak excellent Spanish and English and some also speak French and German.

Each afternoon, one of our guides will meet with you in the lodge bar to tell you about the explorations planned for the following day and help you with the challenging task of choosing between different options, all of them exciting.

Our guides hold substantial knowledge about the area and all have Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, which ensures that they have the expertise and skills necessary to provide assistance to people in remote places.

We offer a range of explorations using traditional local boats in the sea surrounding Rapa Nui, as well as snorkeling and fishing.

The journey by boat along the coastline and to nearby islands takes you into one of Rapa Nui's most important dimensions. You will be seeing the island in the same way as the first mariners who arrived from far away Oceania and Europe.

Snorkeling enables you to explore the Earth's most transparent waters, with excellent visibility up to a depth of 50 meters (164 feet). The temperature of the sea is about 20ºC (68ºF). The water is rich in life, with corals and a wide variety of native fish of different shapes and colors. We provide all the equipment needed: snorkel, mask, flippers, wetsuit and booties.

If you would like to go scuba diving in these highly transparent waters, we will put you in touch with one of the area's diving centers.

On our sea explorations, we also offer the opportunity to go tuna fishing, practicing the traditional methods used by the island's inhabitants for centuries.
