Beyond Rapa Nui: Easter Island to Tahiti
 Preview
Our luxury adventure travel cruise begins in Easter Island, with its mysterious stone statues (moai). From Easter Island, aboard Clipper Odyssey, explore Pitcairn, the Tuamotus, and Marquesas before concluding with the seductive charm of Moorea and Tahiti. Discover the World Heritage Site of Henderson Island in the Pitcairns, a remote world of endemic birds and plants; the Tuamotus, famed for their pearls, azure lagoons, and superb underwater vistas; and the Marquesas, their hallmark jagged peaks draped in lush foliage, where exuberant hospitality is demonstrated by dancers. Throughout our voyage, experience the natural riches and cultural wonders in the company of our exceptional field leaders.

Fifteen moai, each weighing more than 80 tons, stand along its length. Tongariki represents the greatest restoration work yet undertaken on Rapa Nui, one carried out in an effort to understand and preserve the remains of a once-flourishing civilization.
