11 All eyes on Easter Island

Locals on Rapa Nui/Easter Island trace their lineage to a thriving Polynesian civilisation dating back to the 4th century and take great pride in their native Rapa Nui language and culture. It’s recently reopened to fully vaccinated tourists, who can check in to the newly branded Nayara Hangaroa, where self-drive ATV tours allow guests to take in iconic attractions like the Rano Kau crater, moai sites at Rano Raraku quarry and Ahu Tongariki, the Orongo ceremonial village.
