Planning your Christmas Island trip

Best time to go: July to October is the dry season, with occasional showers. The red crab migration takes place from November to February. November to June is wet, with heavy rain and possible tropical cyclones.

The DalesFreshwater streams run through rainforest, past rock terraces and a waterfall. Raised walkways and steps help visitors explore the area.
Lily BeachThis sandy beach has a bathing pool, shelters and barbecue facilities, and is accessible by a normal two-wheel-drive car. Large waves can wash over the rocks beyond the pool.
Dolly BeachAn isolated white-sand beach with coconut trees, a freshwater stream and nesting sea turtles. Getting there takes about an hour by four-wheel drive, followed by a 45-minute downhill walk.
The BlowholesWaves force air and seawater through holes above coastal caves. The resulting sprays can be spectacular.
