Christmas Island A natural wonder once described by David Attenborough as one of his most memorable.
Experience breathtaking wilderness and a cultural fusion of Malay, Singaporean, Australian and Chinese culture on Christmas Island.
Just 90 minutes from Cocos via a connecting flight, come for some of Australia’s best diving, snorkelling, hiking, fishing, and birdwatching, and stay for the secluded beaches, friendly locals and wildlife.

Cocos (Keeling) Islands With just 144 visitors at any one time, dive into a remote paradise with a tropical climate, crystal clear waters, wildlife, culture and endless white-sand beaches.
It’s a laid back way of life on Cocos. A place for bare feet, days lazing under the palms and a feeling of stepping back in time. Of the 27 islands that make up Cocos, two have been crowned Australia’s best beaches. Explore both and island hop with local skippers, meet friendly Cocos Malay locals and get up close with wildlife in one of the world’s largest marine parks that’s home to thousands of turtles, tropical fish, mantas and blooming coral gardens.

Adventure Awaits A true escape from the beaten path, where you can explore or simply take a breath.
Adventurers on Cocos can kite surf during the trade wind season, take part in some of Australia’s best fishing and birdwatching, and island hop to some incredible snorkel and dive spots. There’s also the world’s only golf course set over an international runway. On Christmas, go on spectacular hiking trails, discover an underwater paradise with over 60 uncrowded dive sites, and visit during nature’s miracles like the annual crab migration.
