Christmas Island
The island boasts rich flora and fauna, which is a result of being close to the South-East Asia and the equator. There are over 200 species of flowering plants on the island of which 16 are endemic, found only on Christmas Island, as well as 25 species of trees that dominate the forest, including orchids, ferns and vines. The land crabs and sea birds are perhaps the most noticeable animals on the island. You can find 50-100 million endemic Red Crabs in Christmas Island that once per year migrate to the sea to lay their eggs, on the way blocking the roads and paths and during this period many tourists and experts from different parts of the world come to observe.
It still has a lot to offer any visitor from heritage and nature trails to visiting flying fish cove to diving and snorkeling adventures. All the attractions in Christmas are worth to pay a visit. The must see attractions include: the Grotto, a small coastal cave with mix of sea and fresh water pool, featuring a romantic spot with candles at night, the unusual Hugh's Dale Waterfall, one of the highlights of the islands, where tourists often take a bath under falling streams of clean, cool and drinkable water, Christmas Island National Park, offering to embrace the island's wondrous beauty combined with a variety of island's flora and fauna, Flying Fish Cove, which is reachable through a yacht boasting loads of recreational activities, like swimming, scuba diving, canoeing, snorkeling and much more. Activities you can indulge in include nature walking, bird watching, scuba diving, fishing, taking part in the Dolly Beach Jungle tour and others.
