What's this trip about?

    Ponder one of the world’s greatest unsolved mysteries on this excursion to isolated Easter Island, 2,200 miles off the Chilean coast. Named for its discovery by Dutch explorers on Easter Sunday, it’s known to its Polynesian residents as Te Pito o Te Henua, “The Navel of the World.” The island is legendary for the 900 massive stone busts, known as moai, that guard its slopes. Why they were built is unknown, and their inscrutable faces offer no clues. Come explore the island’s volcanic terrain by bicycle and on foot, snorkel and fish its pristine reefs, and meet the descendants of the ancient Rapa Nui civilization on a unique adventure deep into the past and far off the map
