A red crab migration numbering in the tens of millions that shuts roads across the whole island each year, whale sharks passing offshore in the same season, and a rainforest interior more Southeast Asian in character than anything else Australia claims.
The best time to visit Christmas Island is Oct–Dec, when typical daytime highs reach about 25°C (77°F).
