Easter Island – Rapa Nui April 2018

We love everything Polynesian so why not visit Easter Island which is the southeast corner of the Polynesian Triangle! By plane that is! So we decided to take a 787 and visit Rapa Nui, otherwise known as Easter Island, _Isla de Pascua_ _,_ l'ile de Paques _,_ or Te Pito o Te Henua. The most remote inhabited island in the world! An easy 5 hour flight leaves Tahiti for Rapa Nui once a week and returns the next week! So off we went… much easier to take a 5 hour plane ride than sail 2000 miles to weather! Rapa Nui is inhabited by about 8000 residents, with 60% of them of Rapa Nui descent. About 80,000 visitors fly into Rapa Nui per yearly.
