It’s a great way to learn more about the history of this fascinating island.
Bird Watching: The temperate climate of Rapa gives it the opportunity to have unique wildlife on the island. Rapa is home to several endemic species, so while you’re here see if you can spot a Rapa fruit dove, a Murphy’s petrel, or any other unique creatures!
