    Overview

    Few travellers experience the eerie gaze of Easter Island’s moai statues in person. Fewer still delve into the vibrant culture and traditions that have evolved under the watchful eyes of the moai over the last eight centuries. Join A&K’s renowned team on a journey to one of the world’s most isolated destinations, going beyond the moai to celebrate the vibrant Tapati Rapa Nui Festival and forge meaningful cultural connections in this remote paradise untouched by time.
    Kick things off in Santiago with an exploration of the bohemian Barrio Lastarria neighborhood, an exclusive culinary experience in a local chef’s home and a night at The Ritz Carlton
    Fly to the world’s most remote inhabited island, Easter Island, an extraordinary outpost set over 2,300 miles from the nearest mainland
    Unravel the secrets of the moai with the island’s finest guides, who share cultural insight into these silent sentinels that have watched over Rapa Nui for more than eight centuries
    Experience the Tapati Rapa Nui Festival, a spectacular celebration of Polynesian heritage — alive with vibrant songs, dance and ancestral storytelling
    Savor authentic island hospitality during an intimate dinner in a Rapa Nui home, where warm conversation and traditional flavors offer a true connection to local life
