Apart from sailing a yacht or catamaran, the best way to reach the Cocos Keeling Islands is to fly.
Virgin Australia offers two flights each week on Tuesday and Friday from Perth. Flights are under five hours with a stop at Christmas Island, which offers the perfect opportunity to extend your island holiday by a few days or more.
Given our remote location and limited flights, excess baggages like surfboards, golf clubs and food boxes are carried on a subject-to-load basis. With this in mind, pack light if you can and always add your travel essentials to your hand luggage. Dive into our travel tips and FAQs on what to bring and what to know before you fly.
