Getting from Easter Island's airport to the city center

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is served by a single airport, Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which holds the distinction of being one of the most remote airports in the world. Located just 2 km west of Hanga Roa, the island's only town and main settlement, airport transfers to city center are straightforward but limited in options due to the island's small size and remote location. Most accommodations offer pickup services, and the short distance makes walking feasible for travelers with light luggage. Taxis and shared shuttles are readily available at the airport, while rental cars provide flexibility for exploring the island's archaeological sites.

Notes:

  • Prices in CLP (Chilean Peso); table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Easter Island has no public bus service. Most transport is arranged through accommodations or local operators.
  • Rental cars and scooters are popular for exploring the island but should be booked well in advance due to limited availability.
  • The airport is within easy walking distance of Hanga Roa for those with minimal luggage.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites and contacting your accommodation for your travel planning.

When is the best time to visit Easter Island

Easter Island's remote location means flight prices swing dramatically by season. Summer brings the iconic Tapati Festival but peak fares, winter offers 30% savings with fewer crowds, and shoulder months balance comfortable weather with moderate costs for exploring moai sites.

High season
January - March
  • Prices: Peak rates for flights and hotels; book 3-4 months ahead for better fares on limited island connections.
  • Weather: Warm summer conditions, 18–28 °C with 3–6 rainy days per month, ideal for moai exploration and beach time.
  • Events: Tapati Rapa Nui Festival (late January-early February) showcases traditional sports, dance competitions, and body painting across two vibrant weeks.
Low season
May - September
  • Prices: Cheapest flights and accommodation—up to 30% less than summer peak; fewer connections mean booking 6-8 weeks ahead still wise.
  • Weather: Cooler austral winter, 14–21 °C with 9–12 rainy days monthly; pack layers for moai visits and occasional wind.
  • Events: Matariki celebrations (June-July) honor Polynesian New Year, while Koro Nui O Te Mata Nui (September) features traditional music and dance performances.
Shoulder season
April, October - November
  • Prices: Moderate fares—15-20% below peak summer; flights to the island fill quickly, so book 8-10 weeks ahead for best availability.
  • Weather: Comfortable transitional temps, 16–24 °C with 6–8 rainy days monthly; ideal for hiking Rano Kau crater and exploring archaeological sites without summer heat.
  • Events: Koro Nui O Te Mata Nui (late September-early October) celebrates traditional music and dance, while Dia de la Lengua Rapa Nui (November) honors indigenous language and culture.
