Easter Island is a great place to visit during a cruise for any traveler who seeks an adventure! Unlike the major cruise ports that are developed, Easter Island is a smaller remote island. Nonetheless, this means that you will discover plenty of opportunity for active adventures such as volcano hiking, snorkeling, cave-exploring, swimming, biking, and more. Discover the ancient Rapa Nui civilization’s cultural traditions by visiting the famous Moai statues and watching traditional dance shows. Plus, the breathtaking sunsets you can view from this island are unlike anything you’ve witnessed! If you are seeking a far-off journey that provides the ultimate blend of beauty and seclusion, consider taking your next South Pacific cruise to the legendary Easter Island!

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Easter Island, along with a brief description:
♦ Rano Raraku National Park
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the Moai, which are the famous stone statues that come to mind when you think of Easter Island. A perfect balance of parkland and an open-air museum, Rano Raraku National Park, this iconic attraction is a must-visit when spending time on the island. Visiting is a wonderful way to learn the culture of the ancient Rapa Nui people. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours wandering the trails, viewing the historic sculptures, and just taking in the beautiful weather as you hike to the volcanic crater!
♦ Tongariki
Tongariki is the largest stone platform on Easter Island and is a must visit during your time in port. You can view some more Moai here (although its original statues were destroyed during civil wars and natural disasters). This is also an amazing place to watch the sunset, especially during the summer solstice, perfect for any special or romantic occasion. Early-risers can also witness stunning sunrises from this vantage point.
♦ Anakena Beach
Though there are many beaches on Easter Island, Anakena Beach is one worth visiting. Plus, it’s located right in Rapa Nui National Park, so you can enjoy both highlights in one day! There’s nothing better than wiggling your toes in the white coral sand beach before jumping into the refreshing clear water for a swim. You will also discover a nearby bar and restaurant where you can kick back with your favorite cocktail and fill up on some delicious cuisine before or after you enjoy your day on the beach!
