But flights go from Santiago, Chile, to Easter Island, and then most go on to Papeete in Tahiti-Polynesia. So you can get to Easter Island via Tahiti or via Santiago. The circle route is a bit more costly, but you get an extra country that way. The flights take at least five hours, whether you are coming from Tahiti or from Santiago. Five days minimum.
Most travel agents have no clue how much there is to see and do on the island.
There is a great hike you can take around the north end of the island, but that takes most of one day. Give yourself time to really experience this very special place. Rent a car, motorcycle, bike, take a taxi, walk, join a tour, or rent a horse. There are some 100 taxis, and they can take you around but you might enjoy going at your own speed, taking time to see things that interest you. If you rent a bicycle, bring your own bike lock.
