The Essential Christmas Island Travel Guide

placeholder

By Beth and Shaun Tierney

Discover a tiny dot in the Indian Ocean that is barely known and even less explored.

Christmas Island is one of natures most impressive feats, an island full of natural wonders: from the unique annual red crab migration to rare and unusual birds and glorious deserted beaches where the only footprints in the sand are those made by nesting turtles.

With so many endemic species, the island is often referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean. Yet it also displays a curious amalgam of cultures, history and industry, emerging as a place where all these elements create a truly unusual travel experience.

Every aspect of exploring and enjoying this destination is laid out for easy use with step by-step guides, maps and full directions.
