Christmas Island is not only a place for relaxing but there are also non-stop activities if you want to enjoy yourself even more.
Snorkelling –
With the coral reefs surrounding the Island, snorkelling
is a must on every visit to Christmas Island as the abundance of fish
and coral to see is breathtaking, just a few metres from the shore. Popular
Flying Fish Cove is great for snorkelling and swimming as well as various
other beaches around the Island.
