Christmas Island and Cocos Keeling Islands, sometimes called Cocos Islands, are the must-visit destination. Situated between the North West Coast of WA and Indonesia, these two island destinations are truly magical.
With a holiday at Christmas Island and Cocos Keeling Islands, you'll feel a million miles away without going very far at all!
WA Visitor Centre’s Traveller’s tips
- Hiring a car will help you explore the islands to their full as transport is very limited.
- Booking tours before you arrive is a must as places fill quickly.
- The islands rely on food from the mainland so menus can change without notice and it is not uncommon for only one restaurant to be open at a time. Contact the local visitor centre for more information when you arrive.
- Virgin flies to the islands each Tuesday and Friday, first landing at Cocos Keeling Islands then Christmas Island and then returning to Perth. Extend your stay with a visit to both locations!
- You are welcome to bring your own food to the islands. Chat to us for more information.
