We loved our time at Explora! From first arrival, the staff makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. The attention to detail is great! Yes, it is expensive but you are getting wonderful service and in our opinion was worth every penny. All of the guides really made this place special, Tabby, Mae Mae, Jorge, and all of the others too! They made the excursions fun and informative. Most were Rapa Nui so it was interesting to learn about their lives on the island. Especially liked the snorkeling and the bird man hike. They meet with you every afternoon to plan the next day and make suggestions. We found most of the adventures fairly easy, but that was okay as we weren’t looking for a crazy physical challenge during this trip. Nice touch of fruit and drinks when you get back

“I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. It’s a luxurious and comfortable oasis in the midst of a fascinating island with a rich cultural heritage. From the very first moment I arrived at the airport, where Explora staff greeted me warmly, gave me a traditional lei, and escorted me promptly to the waiting van, to the last moment when I was presented a beautiful, handcrafted necklace made of local shells when I checked out, this place exceeded all of my (already high) expectations.

The restaurant cuisine was gourmet: fresh, creative and delicious with a fine selection of Chilean wine, all presented by the most attentive and gracious staff. All the rooms have a view of the Pacific. My room featured a very comfortable bed with impeccably pressed, elegant white linens and an abundance of pillows. The shower was strong and hot, very relaxing after a day of exploring the island. They offer turn down service…a nice touch. Of note is that the entire property was immaculately clean. A full breakfast buffet awaits in the morning, and a well-stocked bar awaits in the evening (Michaela make you her coconut and gin cocktail!) Belén, Isabel, Michaela, Amanda…everyone was so friendly and kind, always with a smile on their faces. There is a little gift shop that sells high-end Patagonia hiking clothing, shoes, and truly artistic souvenirs (I bought my Piro Piro moai carving there by a well-known local Rapa Nui artist). The explorations I took were led by fun, knowledgeable, and local guides who themselves had grown up on the island. Each exploration ended with refreshments tastefully presented.

The greatest thing of all about Explora Rapa Nui are the wonderful people who work there. I was impressed with everyone. I was only there two nights and wish it had been 2 weeks! I miss my visit and the people I met there. I left wishing I could somehow stay in the lives of those I met as new friends. I felt like I was at home. It isn’t inexpensive, but it’s worth every penny. Don’t stay anywhere else on Rapa Nui.”
