Tree plantation program
Kava Kava tours have created a program that benefits the environment through the planting of a tree in the most deforested area of Rapa Nui. This initiative allows mitigating the carbon footprint emitted by each tourist during their stay in Rapa Nui.
Filtered Rapa Nui Water
Aguas Vai Tea
#NomoreplasticRapaNui #Oneless
One of the great problems of the island is the management of the waste that is produced. We are committed to the preservation of natural resources by reducing the number of plastic water bottles used in Easter Island. Each tour you do with us includes a bottle of “Vai Tea filtered water”. This bottle can be recharged as many times as you want in many local businesses (shops, restaurants, etc.), which have become “charging points”.
