One of the most fascinating destinations on earth, Rapa Nui, or as it’s more commonly known, Easter Island is a remote Polynesian isle (and Chilean territory) renowned for the iconic and deeply mystifying moai - striking archaeological sculptures depicting oversized human heads.
Carved by the indigenous Rapa Nui people to honour important members of their communities who had passed, the moai (which number closer to 900, and are found throughout the island) are estimated to be at least 500 years old, and vary in size, with the largest (the aptly named El Gigante) standing at over 70 ft tall!
Although Easter Island is a great year-round, during the high season of November to March (the Southern Hemisphere summer) prices will be at their highest and attractions can get busy, so we recommend visiting during the shoulder months of October or April.
We recommend 5 days.
If your traveling from the UK, British Airways offers regular direct flights from London Heathrow to Santiago, Chile, where direct flights to Easter Island are available three times per week.
Easter Island is part of Chile. If you are a UK national you don’t need a visa to enter Chile and may remain there for up to 90 days (though you may be required to show a return ticket).
Rob was a fantastic guide. The trip was very enjoyable and Robs knowledge and expertise were great. Would defo recommend
Excellent service from start to finish. I booked the National 3 Peasks challenge in 24 hours. i had regular communication from Rob and the team prioe to the event checking in on my progress, which really spurred me on as well as a helpful fitness plan i has to folow. For the challenge itself Rob and Tim really helped put the group at ease, and was very encouraging. Such a credit to business. i would not hesitate at all in recommending bookitlist to friends and family and will define use again in the future. Thank you for pushing me to finish the challenge!

From pick up to drop off the team were well organised & made the experience/challenge as enoyable & relaxing as possible. an unforgettable experience & will definitely be looking out for what other trips they have to offer.
An outdoor utopia of volcanic regions and vast vineyards.
You could spend months backpacking South America and still have years of wonders to visit.
Extraordinarily powerful, this ancient wonder fills visitors with awe at its grand offering.
