Hiking and surfing are the big activities here. One of the most intriguing and practical hikes on Easter island is along the rocky northwest coast from Ankena to hango Roa. The scuba diving off Easter Island is not for beginners as one must dive in the open sea and the water is cool(Nov. to April is warmest) On the plus side are the unique aves, walls, corals, and fish. Surfers will find a couple of consistent waves adjancet to town, such as the rights a t Caleta Zhango Roa and Ahu Tahi and the left at Hanga Mataveri otai. On Ahu Vihu. Horseback riding here is fun and inexpensive and we can provide tours. anakena is too far to go by horse and return in a eay anyway, so look upon riding ore as change of pace than as of getting around.
