Islets boat tour: Half Day Private Tour

Description

Experience Easter Island's deep connection with the ocean on this boat trip to the Motus, three small islets off the coast. The Motus were once the site of the ancient Birdman competition, where the strongest men from each tribe would compete to retrieve the first egg of the manutara bird from the islets. The winner would become the leader of their clan for the year.

Today, these Motus offer an incredible snorkeling opportunity with crystal-clear waters that boast visibility of up to 60 meters. Explore Motu Kao Kao, a cliff that descends to a 50-meter sandy bottom, offering a unique underwater experience in purple-hued waters. This is one of the most unique spots along the island's coast.

Bird-watching enthusiasts will appreciate the presence of five seabird species nesting in the area, making it an ideal spot to connect with the island’s rich natural heritage.
