Islets boat tour: Half Day Private Tour

Description

Life on Rapa Nui, an island in Polynesia, is closely connected to the ocean. The feeling of isolation is heightened by the round horizon and vast ocean that surround the island. The sea and sky are considered one by the locals. The Motus, three small islets off the coast, were the site of the ancient Birdman competition. The strongest men from each tribe would climb the cliffs and swim to the islets to find the first manutara egg. The winner would lead the clan for a year as the man-bird Tangata Manu. 

For those interested, a boat trip to the Motus is an excellent opportunity for snorkeling, with excellent visibility of up to 60 meters in all directions at Motu Kao Kao, a cliff that reaches its sandy bottom at 50 meters, and purple waters. It's a unique spot along the entire coast of the island. 

For bird-watching enthusiasts, the presence of seabirds and the nesting of 5 species have been identified in the motus area: Experience Rapa Nui's culture through its connection to the sea by taking a boat trip to the Motus.
