Christmas Island is a point in the Indian
Ocean, set 2600km north-west of Perth, Western Australia.
Even out though it is an Australian Territory, its nearest neighbour
is Java, 360km away.
If you like nature, you will like Christmas Island! 63% of it is
interior park holding species of flora & fauna found nowhere
additional in the world! Likely the to the highest degree noticable
local is the Red Crab with over 100 million of those vivid red animals
living on the forest floor.
Looking for the waters bordering the island is an experience not
to be missed. Myriads of tropic fish swim by in just metres of water,
while a short distance outside, divers can cruise the drop-off which
plunges dramatically in the abyss. We may even out bump into one
of our local spinner dolphins or
at certain times of the year meet the majestic whaleshark!
