Plenty to do on Easter Island. I found the cheap places were better if travelling alone, its easy to meet up with other solo travellers and go touring, chatting, walking or whatever. I was there 3 yrs ago and the local guest house operators congregate at the airport for arriving flights - its easy to get a cheap room - and they drive you to their place too (avoids the taxi). Just keep an eye on your valuables, I found three of my travellers cheques removed from the BACK of my cheque bundle. The cheque wallet was in my cabin bag in the bedoom while I had breakfast in the dining room. I only found out because I was doing an inventory of what I had left. Trying to notify VISA (in London) of the cheque theft via a Spanish speaking phone operator was an adventure itself! (had to get the refund in SCL). Enjoy your time there, I would love to return.
