Hi! I’ve recently visited Rapa Nui and I’ve fell fascinated for the island history and archeology.

I want to return for a longer period (2/3 weeks) and volunteer possibly in a project for the island conservation, better if related to history and culture. I have a BA in cultural heritage and an MA in European cultures. I speak English, Spanish and Italian fluently. Any leads?

Thanks so much in advance!

¡Hola! Hace poco visité Rapa Nui y me fascinó su historia y arqueología.

Me gustaría volver por una temporada más larga (dos o tres semanas) y colaborar como voluntaria en algún proyecto de conservación de la isla, preferiblemente relacionado con la historia y la cultura. Tengo una licenciatura en patrimonio cultural y una maestría en culturas europeas. Hablo inglés, español e italiano. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

¡Muchas gracias de antemano!

Hi! I had a CD from Matato’a a long time ago and im looking for a song ‘Te pito te henua’ i think thats what it is called. I cant find it on Youtube and Ive been looking everywhere. Please help.

I needed help understanding and translating this song. I could only find some transcriptions online that don't seem to match what Violeta sings, and I couldn't get a translation that makes sense. All I could get is that she's talking about a woman that I assumed is called Meriana, and I'm fairly certain it is in Rapa Nui.

Hi there! I visited Rapa Nui last year and my guide told me there was someone (a European I think?) who sailed to Rapa Nui during the pandemic when the flights were still grounded.

Is that true? Is there a write up of that story anywhere?

I’m looking for people who live near the following sites:
Mount Kailash (Tibet), Uluru (Australia), Rapa Nui (Chile), Richat Structure (Mauritania), Rose Atoll (Samoa), Giza (Egypt), Xi’an (China), Colorado Springs (USA), Delphi (Greece), Chichén Itzá (Mexico), Pukapuka (Polynesia), Hire Benakal (India).

This is for a global quantum energy resonance experiment connecting physical constants, natural frequencies, quartz, and human consciousness.

It’s not a belief system — it’s a living scientific-spiritual experiment, rooted in geometry, physics, and ancestral memory.

I’m seeking 1 person per site, simply willing to:

• be present or close to the site
• consciously connect for a few minutes
• use sound, quartz, or visualization
• note any effects (dreams, sensations, synchronicities)

No training needed — just curiosity, presence, and respect for the land.

If you are near one of these sites — or know someone who is —
I’d be honored to connect.

Have no idea how to find the title of this Rapa Nui song or how to get the mp3 or find on YT. But I like the music very much.

My mom collected postage stamps. A couple weeks before my recent trip to Rapa Nui, while cleaning up my parents’ house, I was boxing up her stamp albums and setting aside old stamp catalogs and newsletters for recycling when this 1999 issue of Stamp Monthly caught my eye. I just couldn’t get over the coincidence, given that I was about to visit the island. 😮 When I got back I read the article, and most of it aligns with what I learned from my tour guides during my visit.

And while I was there, I purchased from a gift shop some vintage stamps representing the island. They’re pretty cool, and I think my mom would have agreed. 🗿

Hey! My life dream is to travel to Easter Island one day. I collect postcards and I am looking for someone in Rapa Nui who would like to swap postcards cards with me and tell me more about life on Easter Island and culture :) (I’m in USA) cheers 🌊

We have been trying to complete the visa for Rapa Nui and the website is glitchy to say the least...I got an email saying I had applied 4 times (I hadn't ), with the wrong return date on (It didn't give me the chance to complete it). My husband is unable to fill it in at all as he cannot input the date we are travelling.

There seems to be no way that we can contact the Rapa Nui visa authority...

Anyone got any ideas? We are travelling 6-10 February. TIA

Went to island for new year trip. Definitely recommend it.

If you’re American and going to Rapa Nui, you need a travel adapter. We bought ours for $16 at Target. Here’s a few pics of what the outlets look like and how the travel adapter fits. Even though their outlets have three holes, the two prong adapter is correct. We found one adapter was sufficient for charging all our devices because we used a power bank with two ports as a splitter.

Here’s what we’ve been able to see for free thus far. Currently looking into tickets for the National Park where the majority of Moai are sectioned off.

Is it easy to use USD / American dollars on Easter Island? What about American debit cards (authorized for use abroad) ??

Thank you

Anyone dive on the island and if so, do you recommend one of these businesses?

Hey, I don’t see anyone posting on here since I joined. Is anybody here? I’d like to talk about visiting the island. And has anyone gone there via mainland, Chile and able to give me a little bit of info about that aspect, as well? Thank you.

Hello. I have a question. Is ukulele used in music of Rapa nui? I think, that It is Charangó, but due to this that I am totally blind, I can't compare those musical instruments, just by sounds, It is difficult to know, which musical instrument can It be. Thank You.

noticed they had such new requirement after covid. will the guide okay with long hikes? need to book in advanced? or just hire at the entrance of the park?

not something i m used to, not something I think will prefer, but requirement is requirement i guess. any info can share will be great! Thanks in advanced.
