Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, enjoys a mild, subtropical climate that remains pleasant throughout the year, making it a great destination no matter when you visit. The average annual temperature hovers around 70°F (21°C), with February being the warmest month, often reaching highs of 81°F (27°C).
Rain is scattered and brief, with an annual average of 45 inches (1,140 mm), but no distinct rainy season, so it’s always wise to be prepared for light showers. The island’s average humidity is about 76%, contributing to its lush green landscapes. Whether you’re visiting during the warmer months or the cooler periods, the gentle breezes and moderate temperatures make it comfortable year-round.
Please note that due to our remote locations, Wi-Fi access in rooms and common areas may vary in reliability.
The voltage in Easter Island is 220V.
