Explora Rapa Nui Dining Guide
Explora Rapa Nui publishes one dining room / restaurant and one named Explorer's Bar. The restaurant serves Rapa Nui ingredients including sweet potato, taro, Pacific seafood, tropical fruit, and local pineapple; standard breakfast, lunch, dinner, beverages, wine, and food or snacks on full-day explorations are included for lodge guests. A separate public-dinner page admits non-residents subject to availability and gives them a 7:30 PM–9:00 PM service window with at least 24 hours' advance reservation. Those hours and that notice rule are not published as resident dining requirements. The Explorer's Bar is both an open-bar service and the guides' evening planning point. No resident meal hours, weekly closures, dress code, seating count, private-dining venue, room service, or in-room dining are printed.
Before you book dinner

Rapa Nui ingredients and Pacific seafood
Resident hours not printed; public non-resident dinner page prints 7:30 PM–9:00 PM
The lodge's single official dining room looks toward the Pacific and cooks with local sweet potato, taro, seafood, tropical fruit, and Rapa Nui pineapple. Staying guests receive breakfast, lunch, dinner, standard beverages, and wine, but resident service hours and weekly closures are not printed.

Open bar with liquor and Chilean wines
Not printed
Explorer's Bar is the lodge's named bar and the place where guides meet guests to plan the next day's explorations, with groups returning around nightfall. Official pages describe liquor, Chilean wines, and an included open bar but publish no operating hours, closure, seating, or reservation rule. A legacy page mentions a separate premium-wine menu without saying whether it is included, while current guidance says premium selections may carry an additional charge.
