Located on one of the most remote and isolated spots on earth, Easter Island, discovered on Easter Sunday, 1722, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its fascinating human-form stone statues, called moai, which form the world's largest open-air museum. Board the motorcoach (not air-conditioned) and set off from port to one of the most ancient statue sites on the island, Ahu Tahai, to see three restored platforms and the only statue with eyes. Continue on to the south coast, where you'll find Rano Raraku Volcano and over 397 different moai, the largest collection on the island, which populate the slopes of this extinct volcano. Then, it's only a short drive to the restored platform Tongariki, with 15 re-erected statues restored after a tsunami hit the area. Conclude with a drive to Anakena, where you will be greeted with a pink-sand beach and two additional restored platforms, Ahu Nau Nau and Ahu Ature Huke. Return to the ship with spectacular photographs and memories of this day.
