Abercrombie & Kent (A&K), the pioneer of luxury travel, has partnered with Searchlight Pictures to introduce Wild Horse Nine: An Easter Island Adventure, a seven-day Tailormade journey inspired by Martin McDonagh’s highly anticipated film Wild Horse Nine, arriving in theatres November 6, 2026. The exclusive itinerary invites travellers to explore the filming locations, history and culture of Chile and Easter Island through A&K’s signature privately guided experiences.
The film’s story unfolds against a pivotal moment in Chilean history:
Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the island’s iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris’s newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.
While the film unfolds against the backdrop of political intrigue, A&K’s journey invites travellers to discover the real places behind the story. From Santiago’s historic landmarks to Easter Island’s iconic moai at Rano Raraku and Ahu Tongariki, guests follow in the footsteps of the film’s characters while gaining a deeper understanding of the destinations through A&K’s local expertise.
“Great films have the power to transport audiences to extraordinary places, and we believe travel offers the opportunity to experience those stories in an entirely new way,” said Peter Chipchase, Chief Brand Officer at AKTG. “Our collaboration with Searchlight Pictures brings together two powerful forms of storytelling that inspire curiosity about the world. Wild Horse Nine gives us an opportunity to introduce travellers to Easter Island, one of the most remote inhabited places on earth, and a destination that rewards those who venture there with experiences unlike anywhere else.”
From the Silver Screen to Santiago
The journey begins in Chile’s cosmopolitan capital, where expert local guides introduce guests to filming locations and significant sites connected to the country’s 1973 coup. Highlights include La Moneda Palace, the Museum of Memory and Human Rights and Villa Grimaldi, a former detention centre now preserved as a place of remembrance and reflection.
Guests also enjoy a special backstage visit to Santiago’s renowned Municipal Theatre, featured in the film, and an intimate dinner with a Chilean resident who shares firsthand memories of living through the coup.
Discover the Mysteries of Easter Island
From Santiago, guests travel approximately 2,000 miles across the Pacific to Rapa Nui, home to nearly 1,000 moai statues carved by the island’s early inhabitants. Accompanied by local guides, travellers explore filming locations featured in Wild Horse Nine, including Rano Raraku, the volcanic quarry where hundreds of moai were created; Ahu Tongariki, home to 15 restored statues; and Anakena Beach, known for its white sands and ancient ceremonial platforms. A visit to Hotel Iorana, another filming location, offers an additional connection to the movie.
Beyond its archaeological wonders, the journey offers opportunities to connect with Rapa Nui’s living culture through experiences including:
Sunset among the moai: Enjoy a cocktail overlooking the Pacific at Ahu Tahai as the sun sets behind the island’s iconic statues.
Sunrise at Ahu Tongariki: Watch the first light of day illuminate 15 monumental moai, accompanied by a light breakfast.
Rapa Nui cultural traditions: Experience a performance featuring ancestral chants, traditional dance and Polynesian storytelling.
Dinner with a local family: Share a meal in a Rapa Nui home for a personal introduction to the island’s culture and traditions.
Navigation beneath the stars: Discover the ancient Polynesian art of celestial navigation during an expert-led evening experience.
The seven-day Wild Horse Nine: An Easter Island Adventure journey starts from $11,795 USD per person. As with all A&K Tailormade journeys, the itinerary can be personalized to suit individual interests and preferences.
