The Atlandis Top 3 'Things to Do'
Christmas Island National Park
This national park covers over 60 percent of the island and encompasses a unique variety of flora & fauna.
The Grotto
The Grotto is one of the more easily accessible attractions on Christmas Island and a must see. Wear your reef walking booties to climb down the rocks and have a swim - the water is lovely. There is a rope to help you climb out again.
The Blowholes
This is definitely a must do on Christmas Island. Very easy to get to and there is a boardwalk along the coastline. There are many blowholes that were spectacular when we were there, and the sound of the water rushing through the rocks sounds like a loud dragon roar. The views are also unbelievable.
