Great idea as this sounds, it is an absolute non-starter.
A small remote island with no more than a few thousand tourists over the whole year playing hosts to the next solar elipse? Only those determined souls with big budgets are going to be able to do this. The price of absolutely everything will rocket leading up to this - remember what happened in Cornwall at the last partial solar eclipse? - but 50x worse, because of the limited transport and accommodation options.
Go to Easter island at another time, and watch the eclipse from somewhere more accessible.

Not too much landfall, I've afraid. But the Cook Islands are definitely more accessible than Easter Island, being on the trans-Pacific route of Air New Zealand from NZ into LA.
