And that is exactly what VACAYA’s 2026 Chile & Easter Island Tour delivers.
Your V Team is dedicated to providing you with the very best. That’s what drives us, journey after journey. And here’s all that’s included:
VACAYA is proud to partner with Pride Tours, a gay-owned and operated tour company, to create our spectacular 2026 Chile & Easter Island Tour. Working with local experts who understand the destination and the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ community is incredibly important to us. This partnership ensures authentic, respectful, and safe experiences, while supporting local LGBTQ+ businesses and communities. Pride Tours brings deep Chilean expertise, cultural insight, and a shared commitment to inclusivity, aligning perfectly with VACAYA’s mission to provide memorable, empowering travel for everyone in our community. Together, we’re crafting a truly magical adventure that celebrates diversity, connection, and discovery in one of the world’s most breathtaking regions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although VACAYA us using “Easter Island” and “Rapa Nui” interchangeably (since most people know the destination as “Easter Island”), a dedicated effort to rebrand the island to its native “Rapa Nui” is underway. So, for the journey and out of respect for its native people, they’ll be referring to this iconic island as “Rapa Nui.”

There is one question every traveler across the globe universally faces: should I purchase Travel Insurance? It’s natural to ask yourself, “should I spend the extra dollars to protect my vacation investment?” Or do I leave it in the hands of Lady Luck and hope for the best. At both Purple Light Vacations and at VACAYA, we’ve always believed Trip Insurance is critical to the vacation planning process. That’s why VACAYA took special care to integrate the purchase opportunity into our online booking process.
Nothing breaks our heart more than hearing from guests who elect not to purchase insurance, but then something tragic – a death, the loss of a home, etc. – happens and they’re unable to attend the event. As painful as it for us, VACAYA is unable to be your insurance in those moments. And as sad as the stories are, they’re unable to break our Terms & Conditions with you. The reason for that is because VACAYA states that to maintain our Seller of Travel licenses and to comply with all regulations, they must administer our Terms & Conditions equitably across all guests. Failure to do so risks VACAYA’s very existence.
We recommend a “Cancel For Any Reason” or CFAR policy for everyone, and for good reason: if you decide you don’t want to travel after the cancellation penalty period has begun, this type of insurance covers you against total loss. It’s also a great way to help honor your Social Contract with VACAYA.
So go ahead and buy that bucket list trip, but protect your health and your investment by purchasing Trip Insurance. ❤️

I was lucky enough to find Jonathan just by googling. He was very personable, friendly and professional. He was able to put our entire trip together in just a few days and checked on us every day of our trip to make sure we were satisfied. He is the best and only travel agent I will use going forward.
Jonathan and his team pulled out all the stops for our boys trip! I planned a very last minute trip for me, my dad and son and this team completed an entire agenda full of entertainment, food stops, and must see places! Truly impressed with his customer service, attention to detail, and responsiveness. If these guys are helping you plan a trip, you can rest assured that it will be amazing!
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime in France for our 20 year anniversary, thanks to Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations. His ideas for hotels, itinerary and tours were spot on. He was completely able to gauge what we would love with just a short conversation and a few emails. Thank you Jonathan. You're a rockstar and we will definitely be using you again and again!
We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations.
