Exploring The Mysterious Island by Drone 

So many more trees than I was expecting. Just gorgeous, the entire island.

I'm from the Philippines and I really wanted to visit Easter Island someday because of its exotic landscape and ancient history.

My husband and I were at Easter Island in 2012. It was a great time 🤗! Greetings from Germany.

Wow, the most comprehensive video of the island on RU-vid. Your dialogue delivery was the main plus point, keep up the good work

I've been there twice as part of an international artist exchange program with my dance company, Inlet Dance Theatre. This video is amazing--I noticed some significant changes since I was there. Thank you for posting this!

Very good best vid I've seen of Rapanui have studied it since way back knew all those whole island never been there am 70 now nice filming airial shots Kia ora thanks

Beautiful Marc. Great memories and more than we experienced. Thank you and bless you

Wow finally a video of what is my vision of the beautiful landscape of Rapanui. Volcanoes, large craters, caves, beaches, horses and for sure the very welcoming inhabitants. This is exactly what people should discover when they go on the island. Depending on the time of the day, your pictures will be totally different. It's an amazing video! Thanks, you did a very good Job! :D

This is so well done!!! Thank you so much for your passion for this beautiful island.

Marc -- This was an absolutely fabulous video of Rapa Nui, incorporating its history with the present day! I loved it. Thank you! Kat

Great overview, thanks

Beautifully done!

Really beautiful place 🤩 Wow

When somebody says, "Go to your happy place," I go to Rapa Nui.

10/10 vacation! Worth the visit! We love taking our kids to experience new cultures and historic destinations! ❤

Very nicely shot..

This was such an amazing video! Not only is the footage great, but the video itself was nicely edited and it was super educational! Rapa Nui has always been on my to-go list and I'm hoping to visit as soon as I'm out of school. Thanks for taking the time to put this wonderful video together!

Absolutely fantastic! Best content yet.

This is really great! Thank you

Thanks you for this beautiful video !

well done excellent Marc

Really beautiful video. Thanks for sharing a bit of your home.

Love the drone footage.... great way to view some of the islands landscape.

Best video showcasing Rapa Nui!

Absolutely amazing video! Thank you!

A very welcomed video showing the different landscapes of Rapa Nui. Wonderful drone footage and a lot of hard working editing and doing the narration. Thank you for your creative effort.

That was so interesting, thank you. I’ve been watching docos on Rapa Nui for a year now, and your coverage of the islands layout is by far the most educational.

Im happy to see more trees that i have in mind. Congrats from Portugal. OBRIGADO

This is among the TOP 10 video I ever saw in my life. I love it so much. 🥰🥰🥰

Blessed beautiful place . Heaven on earth.

Thankyou 🇨🇦

Very good presentation ! Really positive and enthusiastic channel !

Wonderful documentary, thank you! You have a beautiful family and are a lucky man!💕

Fascinating,I had no idea. Only knew of the amazing statues. Job well done .

Congrats Marc, very nice work!!

Nice drone video shots Marc...Godbless to the beautiful Rapa Nui people🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Aloha 🤙🏽🤙🏽.. nice Mahalo for sharing... Blessings to fanau .. and Ariki Tuki Ariki maria lots of love from all of us Hawaiki Atooi Malama pono Aloha

Great to see. Well presented view of the island. Put the jug on Marc. We're coming over!

Keren banget tempatnya

GREAT

amazing place on earth

Well done! Certainly makes me want to visit!

Well done Marc. Beautiful video and very good explanation. 👏

We will be there the end of March. Will try to write down the spot that you mention here. Love to visit all of the place you mention in here. Love horseback riding as well.

It’s better than what I thought.

Been fortunate enough to visit Rapa Nui twice. It’s hard to beat the surreal feeling of walking amongst the Moai at Rano Raraku and then down to Ahu Tongariki. Also miss having Playa Ovahe to myself for a bit to just enjoy the waves crashing. Also enjoyed staring out into the Pacific from the two lava tube exists at Ana Kakenga and then hiking back to Hanga Roa for a nice, cold Mahina or Taina. Hope to make it back sometime for another visit.

fantastic video mate! The best one ive seen, very informative!

Blessings from Oz. 👍😎❤️

Wow this was a great video. This should have a million views. Well done thank you for making this.

Your videos keep getting better and better my bro! A majestic portrayal of the heart, incorporating just what it is that you love and showing it to the world in a way that captivates and makes one fall in love with your part of the world also. I pray this global covid lock down ceases and the ability to travel and normal life resumes soon, because as we can all see by what you are showing us is that there is so much beauty to be experienced and appreciated. I hope you and your family are doing well amongst the uncertainty going on around the world, you are blessed as God has you where you need to be. Stay strong and keep up the good work. Much love.

Great video-Thank you man 👍

🌍🧚‍♀️❤👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🙏Love from Kempten

Im glad that there are now serious attempts to reforest the island again in many areas that need it. Great shots from your drone.

Great video Marc! Love the drone footage and look forward to coming to the island soon :)

I LOVE RAPA NUI!!

Dear Friend Fantastic video..congratulations. Remind that I visited Eastern Island 4 times between 2002 and 2010 Out of the 60/70 countries I visited in my live: this is by far the most beautifull place Your old fellow from Belgium was crying looking that video.. Jean-Pierre

Wonderful video. Hubby and I visited in 2016 and it brought back so many great memories. We used Green Island Tours for all of our time there and thanks to our guide, we had a spectacular time. We live in California and have great hopes of one day returning. Keep up the great work. Denise

I visited in 2019, it was beautiful and I loved it! Hopefully I can make it back again someday!

Thank you for educational video driven through drone, I'm from Fiji 🇫🇯 it's indeed very interesting about Easter island particular the Rapa Nui

Fascinating, always wondered how the island really looks - usually, you only see the heads and some grass lands. Great job and footage mate!

My husband and I were thinking of visiting this Island! Very interesting island!

Awesome drone video giving a unique visual experience of Rapa Nui. Made me nostalgic of my visit to Rapa Nui. Hoping to return back to Rapa Nui some time in the future.

Superb presentation! And a beautiful place. A fan and an admirer from Pakistan.

I don't know how I got here, but I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Good job mate.

I am a canoe guide in Polynesian cultural center and this is very helpful for me to learn the real island besides from the script! Thank u!

Nice and thank you. I think I learnt alot from your video of the island than searching and reading on google! I was always and am still facinated by those statues ever since I saw an image of it back in my childhood days. Hope to one day visit this beautiful island. Much love from Papua New Guinea.

Io Rana, Thank you for this video 👑🌈

Nice information, love from India Assam❤

This is my dream destination that I will never make to in this life. 🙂🙂🙂

God bless Easter Island, I'm from Indonesia

great video, looking forward to being there in December 2022.

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing your drone cines. What kind of a drone did you take with you to the island?

I have been waiting to do a world cruise since the beginning of 2020. Hopefully we will get there eventually and can't wait to visit your beautiful island.

Beautiful footage! Regards from Holland, country of Roggeveen…😉

I was totally astounded by your video of the island. You did a very excellent job in showcasing how beautiful Rapa Nui island is. It's easy to understand why tourists would love to go back again and again after their first visit. I wish I can visit too and hopefully in the very near future. But what do you think is the shortest route from the Philippines to Rapa Nui? Me and my wife are actually wishing to visit Rapa Nui after we saw videos (including your own videos) of the islands. I though before that Easter Island was a wild and inhabited by tribes like the ones in the Amazons. And I would like to apologize to Rapa Nui people for my grave misconception. I only knew Rapa Nui because of those giant monolithic figures I often see on magazines.

What a beautiful video. I recently became fascinated with Easter Island and tonight I stumbled upon your channel. I’ve already watched several of your videos and will continue to watch. Do you know any Americans that live there?

I always thought it would be exotic you know like the Seychelles because it's in the Pacific Ocean but it's not it is like the Falkland Islands " but with palm trees 🎄 but nice video

This is brilliant mate. It took me back to my trip there and really loved the play by play of the island. When do you think yall will open up again to tourism?

You cannot take off a drone near the airport such as Rano Kau crater. The restricted zone covers almost the whole village, and beyond that, the national park is also a no-fly area. Only a limited area is free for flying without risking a fine

WOW! BIG WOW FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND. Thanks Marc for sharing such a wonderful video of the whole island and the equally excellent narration. I wish the island were near to the Philippines so I can travel easily. I just found out that the people of both Rapa Nui and the Philippines are both Austronesians. The Philippines was the first islands to be colonized by seafaring Austronesians from Taiwan before they moved further out to outlying islands in Indian and Pacific Oceans in the succeeding centuries. And Easter Island was said to be the last to be colonized according to archaeologists (based on scientific evidence thru carbon-dating of archaeological finds) thus, the youngest island to be inhabited in the Pacific Ocean. Rightly so, because it's also the farthest reaches of Pacific Ocean, being the easternmost island. No wonder Rapa Nui natives somewhat look like the typical Filipinos with no Western heritage in their blood.

Hope to visit some day by sailboat

Rapa Nui 🙂

It’s a shame it’s been destroyed.

Extreme DX! Amateur Radio callsigns: CE0(A, E, F, Y), XQ0Y, XR0(Y, Z) Easter Island (Chile)

What are basic jobs on RaPa Nui ? In the States it's mostly jobs like working in construction, fast food , banks , grocery stores , a dollar general every 3 miles. Furniture factory, food process plants, gas station s, corner stores , bars , restaurants, and more bars, and pharmacies, those jobs are everywhere. And all the workers won't rise up in the company. Those jobs are a dime a dozen ✌️. Awesome video btw... I wish I could build a shack somewhere on that island and live out a great life ,,

What you said about Rapa Nui being the only underwater mountain poking it’s head above water is totally untrue. As a good example, what do you think the Hawaiian Islands are? The Big Island is actually the above water tip of the tallest mountain in the word. It’s a shame that your island is being overrun with settlers and tourists. I hope all the remaining natural areas are being managed wisely.

3:45 if you look at the small island from the "bird Island" you will see that it is an ancient, mostly eroded carving of a dog. 🐕 Looking out at the sea... My theory is that this part of the island was once surrounded by floating grass islands, like we see in lake Titicaca, the only other area in the world where these particular reeds grow.

Thanks for this very informative video, but I’m still left wondering if its worth 20hrs flying each way to visit.

Como esses caras fizeram isso?

Can I come visit please?

looks like a beautiful snore-fest to me.

Hallo Marc, great video. How is it with drone flying in Rapa Nui ? Is it allowed, or do you need any permit ? Thank you. Jiri

I am really envy you guys on the island, but its easy for me to say! I'm in Tucson, AZ USA and life is way more easy; Ps, Mark, don't forget the E-mail thanks.

Did you all get any part of the tonga , tsunami, when that underwater Volcano blew up in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific Ocean?

I am Chilean and within the Polynesian triangle most of the islands are European or American territories: All the Islands of French Polynesia (France); American Samoa (USA); Wallis and Futuna (France); Cook Islands (State associated with New Zealand); Pitcairn Islands (UK); Hawaii (United States): Palmyra Atoll (United States) So have more respect with the POLYNESIAN CHILEAN TERRITORY, with Chile, insolent.

Остановитесь! Перестаньте называть воронку от взрыва вулканом! Кальдера вулкана имеет три основных характеристики, отсутствующие тут. 1. Она находится на вершине конуса получаемого извержением лавы. И на её краю каменную деревню не построишь. 2. Она никогда не имеет идеально ровных краёв, так как выбросы в отличии от равнонаправленного взрыва у вулкана имеют турбулентность. И только крайне древний полузасыпанный вулкан вторичными отложениями, гипотетически, может может как-то сгладить края. Это не тот случай. 3.От вулкана не отваливаются части по краям, а стекает магма, создавая конус. Обрыв за жерлом невозможен, если не произошёл взрыв самого вулкана. Но это другая история. Его продолжение должно быть и в подводной части, равномерно расширяющимся. Естественно, взрыв даёт абсолютно одинаковый выброс во все стороны. Стенки воронки имеют равномерный наклон во всей длине, так как взрывная сила равномерна и прямолинейна. Вокруг воронки после взрыва остаётся неизменным ландшафт, никакой конус не образуется. Если взрыв пришёлся на край скалы, то вероятность разрушения и обвала этого края вполне вероятна. Именно, всё это мы и наблюдаем у кратера Рано Као.

Please can u help me,I'm frm Vanuatu,my great great grandfather said we were frm Easter island,they sail away maybe of something,then settle in Fiji,and then some took away then settle in west ambae, Vanuatu,I need to know please
