Christmas & Cocos Keeling Islands View Basket

Christmas Island

Christmas Island is a paradise brimming with unique wildlife amongst jungles and surrounded by magical reefs. Known best for the red crabs, it's an island that many have heard of but few have visited. There is plenty to see on land, with winding trails through the rainforest and lookouts which are perfect for spotting birds such as frigatebirds, boobies and the golden bosun. The island attracts keen photographers with bright colours and rugged coastline. There is also a golf course with special Christmas Island rules about red crabs blocking the holes.

Cocos Keeling Islands

Made up of two coral atolls that were closely studied by Charles Darwin, the Cocos Keeling Islands is perfect for a relaxing tropical break. Water sports are very popular, with kite surfing, windsurfing and plain old surfing. The best time for these is July to October, but still great all year round. You can also hire stand up paddleboards, kayaks or take a private glass bottom boat tour around the islands. Even during busy periods, the water is uncrowded with plenty of space to learn or perfect your skills.
