Life at the Explora Rapa Nui

Soak in those views from your room, which you will find equipped with luxuries to pamper you throughout your stay, including a jetted bathtub. Parents accompanied by the next generation of travelers may request a crib or an additional children’s bed. When it’s time to unwind, take a refreshing dip in the pool, or relax in the sauna.

The volcanic island is also home to massive craters and lava flows. You’ll also want to visit Rapa Nui’s villages, where proud residents keep the island’s language and traditions alive by sharing them with visitors. With so much to do, planning a stay on Easter Island can feel overwhelming. However, Explora lodge Easter Island has a team of dedicated and highly-trained guides that make organizing your excursions a breeze. Together, you and your guide will select from over 30 activities suited to your interests and activity level.

Food and Drink at Explora Rapa Nui lodge
The best way to end a day of adventures is an excellent meal and a glass of wine. After your explorations, sit down to a meal crafted from local ingredients with recipes designed to help you feel healthy and energetic. Each meal is paired with Chilean wines so good you will want a second glass. Have that next drink at the Explorer’s Bar. Stocked with South American wines, as well as a full range of spirits, the Explorer’s Bar is the place to meet up with fellow travelers and share stories from the journey.
Active travelers and those hoping to snorkel and scuba dive in the Pacific’s deepwater will find ample ways to explore Easter Island. But, those looking for a slower pace will also feel at home while delving into the mysteries of Rapa Nui.
