The World’s Most Remote Ride
Easter Island by Motorbike
Most of this island’s 100,000 annual visitors come to view the moai, the mysterious human figures left by a Polynesian culture centuries ago. And most opt for packaged tours to the sites. But the best way to see the statues is by motorbike. The island is only 15 miles wide. The roads, while often dirt, are nearly always empty. And there’s something unmistakably wild about circling one of the most remote inhabited isles on earth. From Hanga Roa, the island’s only town, motor south to the ancient ceremonial village of Orongo before heading to the most iconic moai site, Ahu Tongariki. After a swim at the palm-shaded beach of Anakena, in the north, return to Hanga Roa via the interior road in time to tuck in to some tuna ceviche as the sun plunges behind the Pacific. — M.J
