At this time, the green of nature with the red of crab eggs are the absolute Christmas “decoration” of the island
It rises majestically from the tropical depths of the vast Indian Ocean and is surrounded by blue, exotic waters.
The Christmas Island – an outer Australian territory, closer to the Indonesian islands than to the shores of Western Australia – is a stunning natural wonder, and its name alone is exciting and intriguing.

How did he get his name?
On December 25, 1643, on Christmas Day, East India Company captain William Mynors – captain of the ship Royal Mary – discovers a small island in the Indian Ocean.
He decided to “christen” it Christmas Island.
The island was colonized before the end of the 19th century and today has about 1400 inhabitants.
The migration of red crabs
The island’s biggest tourist attraction? the huge red crabs that every year – from October to early December – come to the island by the millions to mate and give birth.
During this period, the green of the exotic nature with the red of the crabs’ eggs constitute the absolute, natural, Christmas “decoration” of the island.
The sight is particularly impressive with the crabs leaving the forests and filling the streets, beaches and rocks of the island as they head towards the sea. Most tourists visit the island during this period.
