The tour was excellent thanks to the local provider - MAHAKITOUR and the guide Daniela. She really knows the history of the Rapa Nui people.

What our customers ask about Easter Island Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Easter Island?
Visit during March-May or September-November when the weather is good and tourist numbers are lower. These months make it easier to book single rooms at better rates. Data shows March and November are popular with solo travelers. It's best to avoid December through February. During this peak season rooms are scarce prices are high and the Tapati Festival in February brings extra crowds.
What is the typical single supplement cost for Easter Island tours?
Single travelers can expect to pay between 200-400 USD extra for a 4-5 day tour based on hotel choice. A single room at the 3-star Hotel Easter Island Eco Lodge adds about 250 USD while the 4-star Altiplanico Hotel charges around 350 USD. Some companies like Signature Tours sometimes waive these fees in March and October during shoulder season.

Most solo travelers stay in 3-4 star hotels in Hanga Roa town such as Hotel Taha Tai or Easter Island Eco Lodge. Hotel Taha Tai offers rooms with ocean views and sits close to local dining and shopping.
