  1. Considering Christmas Island Accommodation? A Basic Guide to the Island Christmas Island is due west of the northernmost protrusions of Australia. While it is directly south of Jakarta, Christmas Island is a territory of Australia, making it a popular destination for nature lovers, bird watchers, and others seeking a relaxing break. If you are considering Christmas Island accommodation, we’re here to provide you with a basic guide of what to expect from the Island. The National Park Although there are various styles of Christmas Island accommodation, the island still retains its natural beauty. It is dominated by the national park where flora and fauna flourish. One of the main reasons your fellow travellers at Christmas Island accommodation may be visiting is the Red Crab. This island is the sole habitat of this creature, and you will find them all around the island. Just be sure to watch your feet, as standing on a Red Crab is more likely to hurt you, than the crab! Diving Opportunities Christmas Island offers some fantastic diving. The island drastically rises from the Java Trench, the deepest point in the Indian Ocean. This creates a great opportunity for amazing drop off diving, with most of the walls only twenty metres off the shoreline. Christmas Island also has a narrow tropical reef before dropping into the abyss. There are many reefs you can explore, particularly around the north tip of the island. Bird Watching Since over 63% of the island is a national park, there is lots of room for nesting birds. Christmas Island provides a home for many bird species that are not found anywhere else in the world. These species are part of the unique rainforest ecology of the island. Most of the year, you can see amazing species including several land birds that are natural to the island. Fishing

  2. Fishing has become increasingly popular on Christmas Island. While there are lots of activities here, the Wahoo, Tuna, Sailfish and other fish species are far larger than other tropical locations, so many come to the island specifically for fishing. It is even possible that you may see fish more than 100 kilograms feeding on the water’s surface. If you want to fish for sailfish, you should plan your Christmas Island visit for during the pre-monsoon months. Other Activities and Sights There are lots of other activities and sights to keep you busy during your visit. You can play golf on the island for very reasonable course fees, take a hike or nature walk, snorkel or swim in Flying Fish Cove. There are also some fantastic beaches all around the island, waterfalls and the Grotto if you want to enjoy a romantic break. You can expect tropical weather with a wet season between December and April and cooler, sunnier weather from July to September.
