Fishing
Not yet reviewed
Rapa Nui fishers read colour bands on the horizon the way others read traffic lights. Visitors can join regulated outings or cast from safe rocky shelves—never alone on wet lava in big swell.
Charters & skiffs
Half-day trolling or bottom-fishing trips usually include tackle and basic instruction; seasickness hits fast when Pacific chop returns—take medication early if prone.
Shore fishing basics
Light tackle and squid jigs work near the harbour under local rules; ask which zones are closed for conservation. Pack out line fragments—birds and seals tangle easily.
Rules & sustainability
Size limits, seasonal bans, and marine protected areas change—verify with SERNAPESCA leaflets or your captain. Photograph trophy catches sparingly; subsistence fishing still feeds households.

Diving & snorkel covers underwater sightseeing; Boats in our water-sports guide overlap here. Bring sun gloves and a hat with retention strap—reflection off the water is brutal.
