At Easter Island Travel, we know from experience that Rapa Nui has something special to offer all year round. But between May and August, when the island slows down and reveals its most authentic self, is when you can truly connect with its essence.

Looking for a different kind of trip, more personal, deeper, and more meaningful? Then the low season in Rapa Nui is perfect for you.

Fewer crowds, deeper Connection

During these months, the number of visitors drops, giving you more space and silence to enjoy. Places like Ahu Tongariki, Orongo, or Anakena Beach feel completely different without the crowds. You can explore at your own pace, listen to the wind through the palm trees, take unique photos, and let yourself flow with the island’s natural rhythm.

Mild weather all year long

Even though it’s fall and winter on the calendar, temperatures usually stay between 18°C and 23°C (64–73°F). That’s perfect for exploring without the intense summer heat or constant rain.

Imagine walking along coastal trails or hiking up Rano Kau, accompanied by a gentle breeze, it’s the kind of weather that invites you to explore calmly.

Lower prices and exclusive offers

One of the best-kept secrets of traveling to Easter Island in the low season is the price. Flights, accommodation, and activities are often more affordable. At Easter Island Travel, we also offer special discounts during this time, without compromising the quality of our private tours around Rapa Nui.

More personalized attention

With fewer visitors on the island, we can give you more time and attention. We tailor every tour to your interests, whether you’re passionate about ancestral history, archaeology, or untamed nature.

And because our guides are local, born and raised on the island, you’ll enjoy a truly authentic and respectful cultural experience in Rapa Nui.
