Book your accommodation
In the same way, we suggest you book your accommodation as soon as possible. The offer of rooms on the island is not very large and the availability of them during the celebration of the Tapati is even lower and at very high prices. Save money and gain tranquility by booking with time. If you also book through our website you will be collaborating with the School of Music and Arts of Toki NGO whose purpose is to protect and spread the Rapanui culture.
Stay in Easter Island at the best price!
