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.
