Everyone has heard of the monolithic human figures carved from rock called Moai.

David Stanley, author of Moon Handbooks South Pacific (Moon Handbooks), says Easter Island is the Pacific Island that “offers most to the hiker“. That’s surprising since the island is only 11km wide, 23km long!

I will get there. Sooner or later.

  1. I never knew Easter Island was so good for hiking…making me even more excited that I’ll be there next October as part of my round the world trip. I am very excited.
