What is Tapati Rapa Nui?
Tapati Rapa Nui is the most important cultural celebration on Easter Island and one of the most spectacular traditional festivals in all of Polynesia. Its origins date back to the late 1960s, and its aim is to preserve and share the ancestral traditions of the Rapa Nui people.

The exact dates for the next Tapati Rapa Nui festival have been confirmed. The 59th edition of the Tapati Festival will be held from January 30th to February 12th, 2027.
Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity for the people of Rapa Nui to celebrate and share their traditions with the world.
Book your flight
If you do not want to miss this magnificent party and want to get good prices for your ticket, we advise you to book your flight to Easter Island well in advance, since the demand for those dates is very high and prices soar.
Book your accommodation
Similarly, 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 Tapati celebration is even lower and at very high prices. Save money and gain peace of mind by booking in advance. If you also book through our website you will be collaborating with the Toki NGO School of Music and Arts whose purpose is to protect and spread the Rapa Nui culture.
Tapati 2027 Program in App
The Tapati 2027 program will be available on our app. Download our app (mobile application) so that you can check it offline when you travel to the island. Once installed, it works without an internet connection, which is very useful, since connectivity on the island is very limited or non-existent in many places. In addition, this way you avoid using paper and contribute to keeping the Rapa Nui ecosystem clean.
