Red Crab Migration
The annual red crab mass migration to the sea to spawn has been described by ecologists as 'one of the wonders of the natural world' and is Christmas Island's claim to fame amongst naturalists. Nowhere else on earth do crabs occur in these numbers and the spectacle is an experience not to be forgotten.
Scuba Diving
You could be graced with the presence of the majestic whale shark. An encounter with one of these gentle giants who often visit any time between November and April is an experience on your scuba diving trip that you don't want to miss!
Bird Watching
Christmas Island is one of the world's truly spectacular tropical seabird breeding stations. It's not just the number and variety of seabirds, or their magnificant splendour, but also their sheer visibility – it is estimated that around 80,000 seabirds nest here annually.
