Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, defies description. It is beyond-bucket list and beyond amazing! It's a special place with special people and you feel that through any time you spend on the island. We were lucky enough to spend two days on Easter Island and we got to see most of the highlights of the island with a focus on the world-famous Moai statues. Easter Island is a tender port and many ships have to skip it due to rough seas. Right as you step onto the pier, you see your first Moai! It is an unforgettable moment. The first day, we saw the quarry where the topknots where made for the Moai who wear them, the Moai with the re-inserted coral eyes at Tahi where there are three restored Ahus (platforms) and the only 7 statues that face the ocean at Au Akivi. The second day, we explored the Rano Raraku quarry where it is believed most of the Moai where created and where over 400 Moai still stand or lie. This place was incredible! We saw 15 restored Moai on Ahu Tongariki. The sheer size of these Maoi is awe-inspiring. We finished the second day on Anakena beach, home to the first Moai to be re-erected in modern times Autre Huki and the restored Ahu Nau Nau platform with five Moai that include back tatoos. One guide explained the Moai statues were built to house the spirit of their ancestors. Standing next to the incredibly imposing figures, you can feel how sacred they are to the people. The Rapa Nui are incredibly kind to share the Maoi with the rest of the word. #chile #easterisland #rapanui #moai #travel #worldcruise #bucketlist https://www.bensound.com/ License 204507727 Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:22 Sailing Into Easter Island 01:37 First Moai! 02:18 Driving Around the Island 04:30 Tahai Restored Platforms Overlooking the Ocean 06:59 Puna Pau Topknots 08:24 Ahu Akivi Ocean-Facing Moai 10:11 Island Views from the Ship 11:52 Rano Raraku Quarry Where Moai Where Carved 16:24 Tonariki 15 Re-erected Moai 17:49 Anakena Beach Moai on the Beach 19:03 First-Ever Restored Moai 19:42 Sunset and Leaving Easter Island 20:52 Here is Another Video You May Like!
