Easter Island Sports & Outdoors Tips by easyoar Top 5 Page for this destination

Rent a mountain bike

Easter Island has some pretty challenging terrain. Renting a mountain bike costs about 10 USD per day and it is possible to cycle around the island in a day (a long day!). Be careful however as there is nowhere to buy food or water outside of Hanga Roa. Also some parts of the island are very isolated, so it is better to not try and do it alone. This is also relevant as mobile phones only tend to work around Hanga Roa.

Equipment: A good sun hat, sun tan lotion and plenty to eat and drink.

Theme: Biking

Football on Easter Island

OK, so you aren't going to go all the way to Easter Island to see a Football match (and to be honest the quality of the football is worse than some of the schoolboys football I have seen on the local park). But it is quite atmospheric to watch a game of football with a Moai in the background and the wind coming in off the sea. Again it is a good place to meet people, and the islanders are incredibly friendly.

Address: Hanga Roa, on the seafront
