Easter Island


Clean-Air Credentials: Both Harvard University’s Daniel Jacob and the NOAA’s Russell Schnell agree that Easter Island is a good clean-air bet, but Schnell adds that there is a small problem with emissions from diesel generators.

Take a Breather: When the wind and waves are calm and airborne smells tend to linger, take clean air to-go by breathing it from a scuba tank. Dive operators like Mike Rapu Diving Center explore the cobalt seas, famous for 120-foot visibility, volcanic caverns, and locations where scuba divers can swim up close and personal with submerged Moai statues.
